...TROPICAL STORM BUALOI (26W) MOVING FROM PALAU AND YAP, HEAVY RAIN
AND GUSTS CONTINUE...
..ELEVATED SWELL TO MAINTAIN HAZARDOUS SURF THE NEXT FEW DAYS
TROPICAL STORM BAULOI (26W) CONTINUES TO MOVE WEST INTO THE
PHILIPPINE SEA AND STRENGTHEN, AWAY FROM PALAU AND YAP, AND IS
CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR 9.7N 132.6E. MUCH OF THE CONVECTION IS FOCUSED
TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER, BUT LOCALLY
HEAVY SHOWERS WILL REMAIN A CONCERN FOR PALAU OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
AS A MOIST, CONVERGENT MONSOON PATTERN SETS UP BEHIND TS BAULOI.
PALAU HAS RECEIVED 2.5 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL SO FAR, AND ANOTHER
1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LANDSLIDE
POTENTIAL IS DIMINISHING BUT THE POSSIBILITY REMAINS, ESPECIALLY
WHERE SOILS HAVE BECOME SATURATED FROM PRIOR HEAVY RAINFALL.
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PALAU WITH 8 TO 10 FT
SEAS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT AS TS BUALOI PULLS AWAY, MAINLY OVER
WESTERN COASTAL WATERS. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO RELAX BELOW HAZARDOUS
SMALL CRAFT LEVELS THURSDAY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY, ELEVATED NORTHERLY
AND WESTERLY SWELL IN THE WAKE OF TS BUALOI ARE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN
HAZARDOUS SURF OF 7 TO 9 FT ALONG NORTH AND WEST FACING REEFS OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR SO. YAP WILL MAINLY FEEL A WEST TO SOUTHWEST SWELL,
AND HAZARDOUS SURF IS ANTICIPATED ALONG WEST AND SOUTH FACING REEFS
THERE.

REGION AT WEATHER.GOV/GUM/PUBLICFORECASTS AND ANY INFORMATION SHARED
