...HEAVY RAINFALL, GUSTY WINDS AND CHOPPY SEAS CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING AS A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH CHUUK STATE...
A BROAD TROPICAL DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE UNSETTLED WEATHER
ACROSS MUCH OF CHUUK STATE. THIS DISTURBANCE REMAINS POORLY
ORGANIZED, WITH AN ELONGATED CIRCULATION LINGERING NEAR NUKUORO IN
SOUTHERN POHNPEI STATE AND BROAD TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHWEST, PASSING
WEST OF CHUUK LAGOON. AS THIS DISTURBANCE SLOWLY REORGANIZES, IT IS
EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. NUMEROUS LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED. RECENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW STRONG GUSTS BECOMING LESS
FREQUENT SINCE LAST NIGHT, HOWEVER OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 25 KT REMAIN
POSSIBLE NEAR HEAVIER SHOWERS. AROUND 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN SINCE FRIDAY AND AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH MONDAY. ONCE THIS DISTURBANCE MOVES WEST OF CHUUK, SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE TRAILING
TRADE-WIND CONVERGENCE MAY PROLONG SHOWERY WEATHER THROUGH MIDWEEK,
BUT THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL, GUSTY WINDS AND CHOPPY SEAS
SUBSIDES. FURTHER UPDATES WILL BE PROVIDED AS WE MONITOR TRENDS IN
SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS AND MODEL GUIDANCE.
RESIDENTS AND MARINERS SHOULD CONTINUE MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS
FOR THE REGION AT WEATHER.GOV/GUM/PUBLICFORECASTS AND ANY INFORMATION
SHARED BY WSO CHUUK FOR THEIR LOCAL REGION.
