TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK 0341 PM EST NOV 15, 2017

There are no signs of tropical cyclone formation at this time.  There still is a trough of low pressure that extends from the Southern Caribbean over Haiti, Dominican Republic, and into the Atlantic that has been producing heavy rains over the Southern Caribbean, and adjacent land area, Haiti and Dominican Republic.  This moisture is gradually shifting east toward Puerto Rico as well.  This is due to fronts that move over the Atlantic that tap into the moisture in the Caribbean and it begins to stream northeastward.  Flash floods are possible if the rains train over the same area for long periods of time....RTW
