What the National Weather Service wrote

An ex-employee from the NWS reported flooding along Road PR-22, Intersection with Road PR-142 in Dorado. Three cars were affected by the flooding.

The wider storm

The combination of an approaching trough, increasing moisture from the Caribbean, a light southeast wind flow and local effects resulted in several active days across Puerto Rico. These factors enhanced the afternoon showers and thunderstorms for a few days. Additionally, the soils remained saturated from the rains in September, so several mudslides and flooding reports were received.

Began near Dorado (18.4080, -66.2826).
