973 AXPQ20 PGUM 030111 TWDPQ Tropical Weather Discussion National Weather Service Tiyan GU 1111 AM ChST Tue Nov 3 2026 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... TROPICAL CYCLONES... Typhoon In-fa continues to move into colder waters, weakening due to upper-level wind shear and dry air. The latest visible imagery shows In-fa located approximately 170 miles southwest of Iwo To at 23.2N 139.3E, moving northwest at 6 mph. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 75 mph. Typhoon In-fa will likely remain at or near low typhoon strength, before making a northeastward turn and entering the northern Pacific, eventually becoming an extratropical cyclone. For more information please refer to bulletins from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center under WMO header WTPN31 PGTW and from the National Weather Service under WMO header WTPQ31 PGUM. ...OTHER WEATHER SYSTEMS... NEAR-EQUITORIAL TROUGH... A monsoon-like, near-equitorial trough enters Guam`s AOR near 6N 132E and extends to a broad, weak circulation southwest of Chuuk near 5.2N 150.8E. The trough continues extending eastward through Kosrae, passing just south of Majuro, and exiting the AOR near 3N 180. A broad area of scattered showers and thunderstorms are found within the trough, starting between 6N and the equator, extending eastward from 140E to around 152E. A second broad area of scattered showers and thunderstorms are located southeast of Kosrae, around 5.5N to the equator, and 162E to around 170E. TUTT... A Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Trough with weak to moderate upper-level support is found near 9.5N 166E extending north-northeastward to around 19.3N 175E. The TUTT is expected to move predominantly westward, with model guidance indicating a decrease in upper-level support as it approaches the Marianas later this week. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are associated with the axis of this trough. $$ Kennedy
