## extract

Special Weather Statement — Yap Coastal Waters
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
An active monsoon pattern will continue to bring scattered to
numerous, locally heavy, showers and isolated to scattered
thunderstorms across portions of Yap State through this evening.
Frequent lightning, wind gusts to 30 knots, and choppy seas can be
expected with thunderstorms. Inter-island travel will be hazardous
through at least this evening. Then, a relative lull in shower
coverage is expected after midnight as showers and thunderstorms
weaken. However, shower and thunderstorm coverage is expected to
increase once again on Wednesday with locally heavy rainfall
expected. Due to saturated conditions, mudslides will be possible
where the heaviest rain occurs. Residents across Yap State should
monitor local forecasts and heed advice of emergency managers when
heavy rainfall occurs.
