What the National Weather Service wrote

The wider storm

A tropical wave moved across the area, increasing convergence at the lower levels. Later in the period, low level moisture was provided by the proximity of a surface trough. Additionally, an upper level low approached from the northeast, providing instability aloft, as high pressure at all level weakened.

Began near Ciales (18.2573, -66.5187).
