What the National Weather Service wrote

A special METAR was issued by the observer at the San Juan LMM International Airport indicating a waterspout 5 miles northwest of the tower. The waterspout only lasted for two minutes.

The wider storm

A surge of moisture promoted a showery weather pattern across the islands. Additionally, an approaching trough at the upper levels was increasing instability aloft. As a result of these unsettled conditions, a waterspout developed north of the San Juan International Airport.
