The wider storm

A frontal boundary moving across Puerto Rico interacted with above-normal moisture and localized instability, producing unsettled weather across the region. Periods of showers and isolated convection developed during the day, resulting in the observation of a funnel cloud over Puerto Rico. The event occurred in an environment characterized by abundant low-level moisture and variable weather conditions associated with the lingering frontal boundary.
