The wider storm

The dynamic produced by a mid to upper level through north of the region and a jet stream at upper levels maintained sufficient instability across the northeast Caribbean. This, in combination with daytime heating and a moderate to fresh northeast wind flow, enhanced the development of numerous showers with thunderstorms mainly over the southern slopes of Puerto Rico.
