April began with dry weather but a wet pattern slowly emerged over the region by mid-April which led to lots of heavy rainfall towards the end of the month. A near stationary weather pattern was to blame for the longevity of the event as a mid to upper level trough remained northwest of the local area. This upper level feature in combination with a surface trough, a moist and unstable air mass and local effects resulted in the development of showers and thunderstorms across the local area with the bulk of the rainfall along the northern coast of Puerto Rico.
