A tropical disturbance, known as Invest 94W from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), is now listed as a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA), meaning a tropical cyclone will likely develop in the next 24 hours. It continues to slowly intensify as it moves away from the region, with the latest position placing it at 10.6N 141.0E (based on the latest visible satellite imagery), 320 miles southwest of Guam. It`s moving west-northwest at 20 mph. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm 25W (Man-yi) was located 510 miles east of Saipan as of 8 AM ChST, Monday, November 11th. This system is moving southwest at 10 mph and is expected to cross the Marianas near Tinian and Saipan as it weakens into a tropical depression. However, periphery showers and thunderstorms associated with Invest 94W remain possible today, and we`ll begin to feel the effects of a weakening Man-yi Tuesday afternoon, with the system expected to cross the region late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. This system will still bring the potential for locally heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts as it passes through our area. This will be the last Special Weather Statement issued for Tropical Storm 25W (Man-yi). For more information on Invest 94W (TCFA) and Tropical Storm Man-yi, see bulletins issued by JTWC under WMO header WTPN21 PGTW and WTPN32 PGTW Residents across the Marianas should continue monitoring local weather forecasts from the National Weather Service in Guam, and for additional information from your local Weather Service Office and emergency management.
