648 AXPQ20 PGUM 090045 TWDPQ Tropical Weather Discussion National Weather Service Tiyan GU 1045 AM ChST Tue Jun 9 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... None. ...OTHER WEATHER SYSTEMS... NEAR-EQUATORIAL TROUGH... The NET enters Guam`s AOR at 10N130E and extends east to a weak, but long-lived and persistent circulation north of Koror near 10N135E. This feature has been slow-moving and continues to show scattered showers and isolated thunderstorm development within 200 miles of its center. This feature is moving off to the west but will continue to bring convection to northern Palau for the next 24 to 48 hours. Westerly flow with this portion of the net is quite weak as the inflow into the LLCC north of Koror dominates the low-level wind fields. The NET then turns southeast to a col south of Pohnpei near 5N158E, before coning east as it passes by Kosrae and Majuro to the Date Line and beyond. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms continue to develop along and near the NET. However, winds are very light and westerly flow may become variable south of the NET for the next 72 hours. Heading towards the weekend, the NET looks to strengthen with improved westerly flow continuity and strength, which may also allow for an uptick in convection and perhaps an eventual circulation forming somewhere east of 165E. SURFACE TROUGHS... A surface trough is easily seen in the streamlines, extending southeast from near Bikini Atoll to Jaluit in the RMI, where it intersects the NET. However, no appreciable convection is noted and this looks to be the case the next few days as it heads west. OTHER SYSTEMS... A weakening cold front enters Guam`s AOR near 25N175E and extends southwest to 21N160E. Scattered showers continue to develop near and behind this feature, which will continue to dive southeast over the next 48 hours. The cold front then transitions into a shear line as it "flattens out", extending west through the northern CNMI to 19N140E, where it ends. No appreciable convection is observed along this shear line, and this is expected to continue the next 48 hours as this portion of the front washes out. $$ Doll
