No changes occurred in Puerto Rico this week.

Until the end of the period, it had been a relatively dry week across the U.S. Virgin Islands, with a few tenths of an inch of rain falling on most locations. Some locations may have been teetering on the brink of short-term dryness, but moderate to heavy rain fell on most of the region late in the week. Most locations reported 1.0 to 2.5 inches of rain in the last 24-48 hours, although parts of St. Croix received a little less than an inch. Still, these amounts pushed April to date totals to near or above normal, and with no antecedent dryness noted, this is enough to preclude any dryness or drought designation at this time.
