The wider storm

The day started sunny on the islands as a cold front approached from the northwest. Instability was enhanced, and the moisture associated with the front triggered scattered to numerous showers across most of Puerto Rico. Later in the day, as the frontal boundary crossed the region, showers became widespread and strong, with thunderstorm activity detected. Rainfall accumulations ranged from 2 to 5 inches over the eastern interior and just southwest of the San Juan metro area. A few rivers over north-central Puerto Rico reached flood stage, and flash flood warnings were issued. Reports due to small streams out of their banks flooding small bridges and roads were received.

Began near Santa Isabel (17.9784, -66.3490).
