What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency managers reported flooding along PR-676 KM 1.6, near Mariposario Bosque la Vega in Vega Alta.

The wider storm

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.

Began near Vega Alta (18.4100, -66.3400).
