A deep mid and level trough north of the area combined with a frontal boundary near the area to result in periods of enhanced shower and thunderstorm activity. During the afternoon hours of 5/21 and 5/22, severe thunderstorms developed across interior Puerto Rico, then during the predawn hours of 5/23, an area of very heavy rainfall activity affected the coastal municipalities of eastern PR.
