651 AM CHST MON NOV 23 2009
...TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W REMAINS SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF GUAM...
AT 6 AM THIS MORNING...TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W WAS NEARLY STATIONARY
ABOUT 470 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF GUAM...WITH MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 35 MPH NEAR THE CENTER. THE DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWEST TODAY. THIS WILL BRING THIS SYSTEM CLOSER TO
THE MARIANAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WITH THE LATEST FORECAST
FROM THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER BRINGING THE CENTER ABOUT 200
MILES SOUTHWEST OF GUAM WEDNESDAY EVENING.
IF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W MOVES AS FORECAST IT IS EXPECTED TO BRING
NO MORE THAN LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE MARIANAS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO THE EXACT
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF 26W OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...AND A SLIGHT
NORTHWARD SHIFT IN ITS TRACK COULD GREATLY INCREASE THE THREAT TO
THE MARIANAS.
ACCORDINGLY...RESIDENTS OF THE MARIANAS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W. KEEP UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST
STATEMENTS AND ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...AND BE
PREPARED TO ACT IF A WATCH OR WARNING IS ISSUED. FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION...REFER TO PUBLIC ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE UNDER WMO HEADER WTPQ31 PGUM.
