What the National Weather Service wrote

Highway 2 was reported impassable near the border between the municipalities of Vega Baja and Vega Alta due to Cibuco river out of its banks.

The wider storm

The interaction of these two features generated a very unstable environment across the local region producing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms along the northern portions of Puerto Rico.
