A monsoon surge is pushing through Yap and Palau, bringing
widespread locally heavy showers, scattered thunderstorms, strong
gusty winds and hazardous sea conditions into the end of the week.
This surge is flowing into TS Bebinca, northwest of Guam. Ensemble
model guidance shows the potential for an additional 6 to 8 inches
of rain through Saturday across the region.

Prolonged periods of heavy showers may result in localized flooding
of low-lying and poor drainage areas of Yap and Palau, and will
increase the potential for mudslides in areas of steeper terrain in
Palau. Hazardous marine and surf conditions will persist of the next
few days. Boaters should closely monitor marine forecasts before
planning water activites.

Residents across the Palau and Yap region should continue to monitor
local weather forecasts the next several days from the National
Weather Service in Guam, and for additional information from your
local Weather Service Office and emergency management. Visit
weather.gov/gum/PublicForecasts for the latest weather information
from the National Weather Service.
