...TROPICAL DEPRESSION 32W MAINTAINS HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND STRONG
WINDS ACROSS YAP STATE...

Tropical Depression 32W has been slow to consolidate over the last
12 hours, but it appears far more organized this morning, with
satellite showing widespread heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms
covering much of Yap State. Deep convection is focused about the
circulation center which is now located at 9.7N 140.6E. 32W has been
moving west-northwestward at around 14 mph this morning, and is
expected to continue on to the northwest over the next 12 hours or
so, then make a slight turn back toward the west-northwest. This
general forecast track will take TD 32W not very far north of Fais
and Ulithi, and a Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for these
locations. In the meantime, the Tropical Storm Watch will likely be
cancelled for Faraulep as the slow-developing TD 32W moves further
away and the likelihood of damaging winds continues to diminish.

Widespread heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue
across western and central Yap state, while gradually moving out of
eastern Yap state over the next 12-24 hours. If 32W maintains a more
westerly track, watches may be necessary for Yap Island. Winds of 25
to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph and seas up to 14 ft around 32W will
make inter-island travel treacherous across nearly all of Yap State,
and such travel should be delayed until conditions improve. Surf will
be elevated due to the background westerly swell from the monsoon
pattern and the swell and wind waves being generated from TD 32W.
Elevated surf, along with elevated high tides around the full moon
tonight, may lead to minor splash-over/run-up on beaches, mainly
along south and west facing shores.

Residents and mariners should monitor the latest forecasts for the
region at weather.gov/gum/PublicForecasts and any information shared
by WSO Yap for their local regions.

For more information on Tropical Depression 32W please see bulletins
issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center under WMO header WTPN32
PGTW and the National Weather Service WMO headers WTPQ32 and WTPQ82
PGUM.
