.DISCUSSION...There will be a low risk of rip currents along all
reefs of the Marianas through at least Monday night, and also a
moderate risk of lightning. An approaching tropical disturbance could
just tip the risk of rip currents to moderate on Tuesday, then it
will most likely head back down to low.

* Low Risk of rip currents - Strong currents can still occur near
jetties and reef channels. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

Moderate Risk of rip currents - Wave conditions support stronger or
more frequent rip currents. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

High Risk of rip currents - Large waves will produce strong rip
currents, especially along narrow reefs and beaches. Rip currents
will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel
to the beach rather than against the current.
