...DANGEROUS SURF AND SWELL AT UTIRIK MAY DEVELOP BY WEDNESDAY...

Invest 92C, from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, is currently
approaching the Date Line near 12N. This system is forecast to
continue developing over the next several days, possibly becoming a
tropical storm by Tuesday afternoon. The closest point of approach to
Utirik looks to be around 200 miles to the northeast and north.
However, confidence is growing that swells from the center of this
tropical disturbance will be in the 5 to 7 foot range.

Given the shallow, flat coastlines of Utirik Atoll, significant
inundation across all of the atoll is a distinct possibility.
Additionally, southwesterly to southerly sustained winds of 15 to 25
mph, with gusts to 40 mph, are expected. The combination of the two
may allow for significant coastal erosion to take place. Residents
are urged to take precautionary actions now, before the swells and
heavier showers associated with this passing tropical disturbance
develop.
