Flash Flood · Puerto Rico

Heavy rainfall caused a creek to overflow in Sector Paracaochero near Camino Los Cruces in San Juan. Flash floodwaters inundated two residential units near Aceros de Amrica, resulting in flood damage to the affected properties. No injuries or fatalities 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.
