| Description: |
* WHAT...Life-threatening rip current. * WHERE...Beaches along the northwest to northeast coast of Puerto Rico. * WHEN..Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A weak long-period northeasterly swell will spread across the Atlantic waters late tonight through Thursday evening. This in combination with locally generated wind-waves will result in confused seas potentially enhancing the risk of rip currents along the north and east-facing beaches. |
