What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency Managers reported a mudslide along roads PR-603 and PR-111. The roads were closed due to the mudslide.

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 Utuado (18.2773, -66.7217).
