A low level trough that extended south and then southwest from a low pressure north of Puerto Rico combined with daytime heating and sea breeze convergence to produce numerous showers and isolated strong thunderstorms over the San Juan metropolitan area. Periods of very heavy rain induced road flooding mostly over the municipalities of Guaynabo...Bayamon...Catano...and San Juan. Doppler radar rainfall estimates indicated accumulations of over 5 inches in some areas.
