Special Weather Statement — Koror Palau Coastal Waters; Yap Coastal Waters
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
An active monsoon pattern will continue across western Micronesia
with satellite imagery continuing to show areas of heavy showers and
thunderstorms. Latest satellite-dervied surface wind data depicts 15
to 20 mph west to southwest winds across western Yap State and Palau
with pockets of locally higher winds.

Weather models point to a continuation of these conditions with
periods of locally heavy showers moving across the islands,
occasionally bringing increased winds, gusts, and choppy seas. Both
Yap and Palau are in the monsoon inflow of Invest 91W, located near
13N142E, northeast of Yap. 91W is now the subject of a Tropical
Cyclone Formation Alert from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and
showers are expected to remain mostly numerous to widespread and
heavy at times. Model guidance suggests 1 to 3 inches of rain per day
will be possible through Wednesday, especially for Yap.

Residents should continue to monitor forecasts and listen for any
marine advisories that may be issued over the next couple of days.
Be aware of the latest weather conditions and trends before traveling
between islands. Stay up-to-date with all the latest forecasts at
weather.gov/gum and by following the latest information from your
local Weather Service Office.
