The National Weather Service in San Juan has issued an

* urban and small stream flood advisory for...
the following

Counties
in the U.S. Virgin Islands
     Saint John and Saint Thomas

* until 1030 PM AST

strong thunderstorms affecting the islands of Saint Thomas and Saint
John. Up to one inch of rainfall has already been estimated across
these islands since 6 PM AST... and an additional one to two inches
of rainfall will be possible through 1030 PM AST. This heavy
rainfall will result in ponding of water on roadways... reduced
visibilities and flooding of guts.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.

... Flash Flood Watch now in effect through Monday evening...

The Flash Flood Watch has been extended for

* portions of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands... including the
following areas... in Puerto Rico... central interior... Culebra...
eastern interior... north Central... Northeast... Ponce and
vicinity... San Juan and vicinity... southeast and Vieques. In
Virgin Islands... St Croix and St. Thomas/St. John/adjacent
islands.

* Through 10 PM AST Monday evening

* deep tropical moisture... associated with an active tropical wave
south of Puerto Rico this evening... will bring periods of
moderate to heavy rainfall across the U.S. Virgin
Islands... eastern Puerto Rico... southern Puerto Rico and sections
of the central interior of Puerto Rico through at least 10 PM
AST Monday evening. Residents and motorists can expect areas of
moderate to heavy rainfall... occasional lightning and gusty
winds. Isolated rainfall totals between 5 and 1o inches of
rainfall will be possible through 10 PM AST Monday
evening... with lesser amounts of 2 to 3 inches expected across
large sections of the watch area. Due to already saturated
soils... especially across sections of eastern and southeastern
Puerto Rico... any additional heavy rainfall will likely result
in areas of flash flooding and possibly mudslides.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for heavy
rain across the watch area... which may lead to flooding. If you are
in the watch area... check your preparedness requirements...
especially if you have interests along area rivers. Keep informed...
and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Flash
Flood Warning is issued.

People in the watch area should continue to be aware of the
possibility for heavy rainfall. Avoid low lying areas... and be
careful when approaching Highway dips and underpasses. The heavy
rain could also cause mudslides in areas of steep terrain.

Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... local TV... radio or your
cable television provider for later statements and possible
warnings.
