SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Depresion Grace was centered well south of Puerto Rico, over
the offshore Caribbean waters, tracking west near 15 mph. Little
change is expected on the current track and intensity during the next
couple of hours, and therefore, the Tropical Storm Warning for Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands was discontinued. However, showers and
thunderstorms associated to rainbands from the depresion will continue
to move from the Caribbean waters into portions of the USVI and Puerto
Rico through the overnight hours, and a Flash Flood Watch continues in
effect for all the local islands through at least Monday.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and a Flash Flood Watch remains in
effect through Monday. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood
waters having further impacts of significant potential.

* OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS:
The risk of rip currents is high across all beaches on the islands.
Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
deeper water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* EVACUATIONS:

Do not return to evacuated areas until it is safe. Listen for the all-
clear signal from local authorities.


* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities simply to observe
storm damage. Sightseers can interfere with the timeliness of rescuers
and first responders to needlessly jeopardize lives.
