What the National Weather Service wrote

Flooding rains caused by strong thunderstorms affected the northwest Municipalities. A social media post indicated minor flooding related to a water surge along a river that crossed a road near Barrio Saltos in San Sebastian, near a residential area.

The wider storm

A tropical wave crossed the islands during the beginning of August, from Thursday, August 1st, through Saturday, August 3rd, which resulted in an unstable weather pattern. This weather scenario was enhanced by local topography, sea breeze variations, and afternoon effects typically observed in Puerto Rico, resulting in flooding and strong gusty winds due to thunderstorm activity.
