Flash Flood · Puerto Rico

Heavy rainfall caused a river to overflow onto PR-891 near kilometer 13.9 by the Volleyball Monument in Corozal. Floodwaters covered the roadway, forcing the closure of the road in both directions after it became impassable. The flooding resulted in temporary transportation disruptions, but no injuries, fatalities, or structural damage were reported.

A moist and unstable weather pattern affected Puerto Rico from March 24 through March 28, 2026, as a mid- to upper-level trough interacted with abundant tropical moisture and favorable upper-level dynamics. Periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms developed across the island, resulting in flooding concerns, urban and small-stream flooding, and rapid rises on rivers and streams. The threat was enhanced by strong upper-level support associated with a strengthening jet stream and persistent moisture across the region.
