...A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE NEARBY BRINGS HEAVIER SHOWERS AND GUSTY
WINDS THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK...

An unsettled monsoon pattern, associated with Invest 92W continues
to intensify across eastern Micronesia. Invest 92W is now rated
low by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, which means development
into a significant tropical cyclone is possible, but not likely
within the next 24 hours. The latest ASCAT pass does show a Low-
Level Circulation Center with near gale winds to the east of the
center, north of Pohnpei. A relative lull remains in place across
Chuuk this evening, but shower coverage is expected to increase
tonight. Strong gusts of 25 to 30 knots are possible near heavier
showers as 92W continues to influence the region. Larger localized
wind waves will make seas choppy at times.

Additional rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches are possible through
the week, with additional rainfall possible next weekend.
These rainfall amounts could result in flash flooding and
potential mudslides. Towards the latter half of the week, a monsoon
surge could develop and continue to impact Chuuk. Residents across
Chuuk State should monitor local forecasts and heed advice of
emergency managers when heavy rainfall occurs.
