The final text product of the legacy Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO) 

will be issued on December 15th, 2025. We are promoting the use of 

the Experimental Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook (GHWO), which 

provides a graphical depiction of potential weather hazards for up 

seven days. Please refer to our GHWO at



https://weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=sju. 



The GHWO produces clear, concise, multi-level color-coded graphics 

that provide decision makers with convenient access to potential 

weather hazard information and associated risks out to seven days.



For any comments or questions on the elimination of the text 

Hazardous Weather Outlook, or the Experimental Graphical Hazardous 

Weather Outlook, please contact our webmaster account at

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Puerto Rico.



.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight



.Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly

across coastal areas. Unsecured items could blow around.



.Marine Conditions...Hazardous conditions for small craft in

areas with seas of 7 feet or higher, particularly across

Atlantic waters and passages. Small craft should exercise caution

elsewhere across the local waters.



.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the

surf zone, particularly across north and east-facing beaches,

including Culebra. These life- threatening conditions are 

possible for the rest of the beaches, with isolated stronger rip 

currents possible elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties and 

channels.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday



Winds will become stronger on Saturday, leading to breezy to 

windy conditions across coastal and elevated areas, lightweight 

outdoor items may be blown around in exposed locations. Hazardous 

marine and beach conditions continue due to increasing winds and a

long- period northerly swell spreading across the local waters 

seas and rip current risks. High Rip Current Risk Statements and 

Small Craft Advisories are in effect though Sunday. A disturbance 

in the trades will increase frequency of showers and isolated 

thunderstorms on Saturday, with a limited risk of flooding and 

lightning. Flooding risk will increase once again on Monday and 

Tuesday.





.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...



Spotter activation will not be needed.
