...TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TO GENERATE HEAVY SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS
ACROSS THE FSM...

A broad tropical disturbance, Invest 90W, is slowly organizing
southwest of Pohnpei/southeast of Chuuk near Lukunoch. This
disturbance will remain quasi-stationary for the next 36 hours as it
slowly develops. Early this weekend, 90W may lift northward somewhere
between Chuuk and Pohnpei.

This disturbance is generating numerous to widespread showers,
isolated thunderstorms and gusty winds across southern Pohnpei and
Kosrae States. These conditions will shift northward in the coming
days. Sustained winds of 15 to 20 mph, with gusts to 30 mph are
possible.

POTENTIAL RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH MONDAY (JULY 17-20):

Pohnpei: 2 to 4 inches
Kosrae:2 to 4 inches
Mokil:2 to 4 inches
Pingelap:2 to 4 inches
Sapwuafik: 2 to 4 inches
Nukuoro: 3 to 5 inches

Locally heavier rainfall is possible depending on the evolution of
Invest 90W in the coming days. Residents across the FSM should keep
up to date with weather forecasts from NWS Guam at
www.weather.gov/gum, and for additional information from both, your
local Weather Service Office and Disaster Coordination Office in
Kosrae and Pohnpei.

For those planning inter-island travel in the next couple of days,
know the weather conditions before you go, and/or consider postponing
travel until conditions improve.

This Special Weather Statement will be updated daily, and more often
when needed.
