<p>Some schools and government offices were expected to reopen in the region with the exception of those in St John in the US Virgin Islands.</p>
<p>Ernesto Morales, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s San Juan office, said heavy rains would keep affecting Puerto Rico’s southern and eastern region until shortly before dawn on Wednesday.</p>
<p><em>“It’s not the moment to lower your guard,”</em> he warned.</p>
<p>Crews also temporarily closed some coastal roads in south-eastern Puerto Rico that became flooded after Karen hit the island on Tuesday, leaving up to 29,000 customers without power at one point.</p>
<p>An island-wide outage was reported in neighbouring St Thomas on Tuesday morning, followed by smaller outages later that afternoon.</p>
<p>Forecasters warned of more rain showers for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands throughout Wednesday, but those were expected to dissipate by Thursday as Karen headed north.</p>
