079 AXPQ20 PGUM 260004 TWDPQ Tropical Weather Discussion National Weather Service Tiyan GU 1004 AM ChST Wed Nov 26 2025 Tropical Weather Discussion for the Western North Pacific between the Equator and 25N from 130E to 180. The following information is based on recent satellite imagery/data, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... None. ...OTHER WEATHER SYSTEMS... NEAR EQUATORIAL TROUGH... Today the NET has shifted south a little, entering GUAM`s AOR at 3N130E and extending to EQ163E. No appreciable convection is occurring along and north of this feature it our area, with convection occurring along and south of the equator. SURFACE TROUGHS... A subtle trough extends northwest from EQ164E between Chuuk and Pohnpei, ending near 9N153E. Scattered showers are occurring with this feature, which is forecast to rotate south very slightly while extending to near Yap in a couple days, as a weak circulation potentially develops near 3N150E. This will help pull deeper moisture northwestward toward Yap from the equator. This may result in increasing convective coverage and vigor over the next few days as the pattern develops/reorientates synoptically. Another trough is located east of Kosrae, stretching north from 4N166E to 10N170E, where it ends south of Utirik. Widespread cloud cover with scattered showers are occurring, and this will continue the next few days as it heads west. TRADE-WIND SURGE... The trade-wind surge continues to weaken and decrease in size, as the pressure gradient weakens. Today, it`s found east of 172E centered between 5N and 15N, where 15 to 20 knot winds and seas of 7 to 9 feet are located. This feature is expected to dissolve during the next 24 hours, and this will likely be the last mention of it. TUTT... The TUTT enters Guam`s AOR at 22N180 today, bypassing Wake Island as it extends southwest, ending at a developing col that`s centered between Chuuk and Pohnpei near 7N155E. Good divergence to the south and east of this feature is allowing for widespread clouds to continue, with scattered showers to continue developing east of 160E, centered between 8N and 15N in a west-southwest to east-northeast fashion. The TUTT is forecast to weaken and dissolve the next few days as a broad area of high pressure develops in an east-west orientation, centered across the northern CNMI. $$ Doll
