...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHWEST COASTAL PLAINS... .The KBDI remains above critical fire weather thresholds in Cabo Rojo at 628. Today, a drier air mass is expected to slowly filter from the east throughout the day, and overall breezy to windy conditions are expected along the southwest coastal plains. Wind speeds are expected to peak between 16 and 23 mph at times, with stronger gusts due to the sea breeze around 28 mph. Red Flag conditions are expected between mid-morning into the early afternoon hours, when RH values will drop to around 45%. Therefore, we have issued a Red Flag Warning for the Southwest Coastal Plains. The National Weather Service in San Juan has issued a Red Flag Warning, which is in effect from 11 AM this morning to 5 PM AST this afternoon. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire weather zone 027. * WIND...East to east-southeast at 16 to 23 mph, with stronger gusts around 28 mph. * HUMIDITY...Relative humidity values from the mid to upper 40s. * IMPACTS...any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

Rip Current Statement issued February 26 at 3:07AM AST until February 27 at 6:00PM AST by NWS San Juan PR

* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Beaches of west-southwest Puerto Rico, and the north- facing beaches of Vieques. * WHEN...Through Friday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
