Special Weather Statement — Pohnpei
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
Invest 95W, now rated as "high" for development by JTWC, continues to
consolidate to the north-northeast of Kosrae. Latest satellite
imagery depicts flaring convection within the west to southwest flank
of 95W, located between Kosrae and Pohnpei. Invest 95W is expected
to shift west-northwest passing north of Pohnpei around Thursday
night as a significant tropical cyclone, developing into a Tropical
Depression by Wednesday night. The main concern for Pohnpei will be
surging west winds and elevated west swell associated with Invest
95W, which looks to build over Pohnpei waters starting around
Thursday and lasting into the weekend, which will lead to
increasing, potentially hazardous surf along west-facing reefs not
usually exposed during typical trade wind conditions. Additionally,
rain bands within the outer southwest to south periphery of 95W could
bring locally heavy showers over the next few days, with model
ensemble guidance indicating a possibility for rainfall amounts
between 1 to 2 inches through the end of the week.

For more information on Invest 95W, please refer to the Significant
Tropical Weather Advisory from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center
(JTWC) under WMO header ABPW10 PGTW and the Tropical Cyclone
Formation Alert from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center under WMO
header WTPN21 PGTW. Residents should keep up to date with forecasts
from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, and listen for
additional updates from your local Weather Service Office.
