This system is interacting with an upper-level low and is currently producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers. There is some potential for this low to briefly acquire subtropical characteristics during the next day or so while it moves northwestward. After that time, development is not expected as the disturbance moves north-northeastward and merges with a frontal zone. Regardless of formation, locally heavy rainfall and possible flooding should continue across Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic through tonight. For additional information on the heavy rainfall threat, please consult products issued by your national meteorological service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi/Beven
