POTENTIAL TO PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
Invest 92W continues to linger north of Pohnpei near 9.6N 156.8E.
Satellite imagery shows 92W is nearly stationary. The slow motion
looks to persist through Wednesday, allowing the west
to southwesterly winds to continue bringing southwest fetch of
moisture to the region, as seen in the all-layer precipitable water
vapor imagery. This will keep heavy rainfall and potential
mudslide concerns at Pohnpei and Kosrae, with occasional to frequent
wind gusts to 35 mph possible through Thursday. A Small Craft
Advisory is in effect for Pohnpei until 3 PM Thursday.
Additional rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches are possible through
the week. These rainfall amounts could result in flooding and
potential mudslides. Residents of Kosrae and Pohnpei should monitor

by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, which means development into a
significant tropical cyclone is possible, but not likely within the
next 24 hours. The latest ASCAT pass shows a building surge of
westerly winds south of a broad ciruclation located north of Pohnpei.
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are ongoing across
Chuuk this evening. Shower coverage will increase to widespread
showers after midnight. Strong gusts of 25 to 30 knots are possible
near heavier showers as 92W continues to influence the region. Larger
localized wind waves will make seas choppy at times.
Additional rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches are possible through
the week, with additional rainfall possible this weekend. These
rainfall amounts could result in flash flooding and potential
mudslides. Towards the latter half of the week, a monsoon surge could
develop and continue to impact Chuuk. Residents across Chuuk State
should monitor local forecasts and heed advice of emergency managers
when heavy rainfall occurs.
