AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU
548 AM CHST SUN JAN 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SATELLITE SHOWS WEAK TRADE DISTURBANCE IN THE MARIANAS. SHOWERS
ARE SCATTERED ACROSS GUAM/ROTA WATERS...BUT ARE PREDOMINANTLY
LIGHT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
VERY LITTLE CHANGE MADE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST...MAINLY TRIMMING
SCATTERED SHOWERS BACK TO JUST THIS MORNING...AND FOR GUAM AND
ROTA ONLY. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD LAST THROUGH MON NIGHT AS
MID-LEVELS GRADUALLY DRY OUT.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH IPAN BUOY STILL REPORTING 6 TO 7 FT SEAS AND SATELLITE
ALIMETRY SHOWING 8 FT OR SO...LEFT MARINE GRIDS AT 8 TO 9 FT
COMBINED SEAS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE 14/06Z WW3 TRIES TO BRING A
BRIEF SURGE OF 11 TO 13 FT NORTHEAST SWELL INTO SAIPAN ON
FRIDAY...BUT NOT PUTTING INTO GRIDS FOR NOW AS NO OBVIOUS SOURCE
IS EVIDENT IN THE GFS...AND THIS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN 14/00Z RUN.

&&

.EASTERN MICRONESIA...
THE ONLY WEATHER MAKER ACROSS EASTERN MICRONESIA IS CURRENTLY
SITUATED EAST OF MAJURO. THIS TRADE-WIND DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH
WESTWARD AND BRING LOW-END SCATTERED SHOWERS TO MAJURO MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT AND PERHAPS TUESDAY ON KOSRAE. WILL WAIT FOR BETTER
MODEL SOLUTION AGREEMENT AND OBSERVE THE EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM
OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS BEFORE PUTTING IN SCATTERED WORDING FOR KOSRAE
TUESDAY. POHNPEI WILL REMAIN IN A RELATIVELY DRY PATTERN WITH
WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY STAYING TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.WESTERN MICRONESIA...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS ASSOCIATED WITH A DISTURBANCE SOUTH OF CHUUK WILL
STAY TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA AS THE FEATURE MOVES WESTWARD. MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS DRY SCENARIO AND SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS ONLY A LAYER OF CIRRUS STREAMING NORTHWESTWARD FROM DEEP
CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH. THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK LOOKS FAIRLY
QUIET WITH JUST ISOLATED TRADE-WIND SHOWERS EXPECTED. A FEW
SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING NORTH OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL TROUGH TO THE
SOUTH OF KOROR. A MOSTLY DRY PATTERN APPEARS LIKELY FOR KOROR AND
YAP AS WELL WITH MODERATE ENE FLOW AND ISOLATED SHOWERS THROUGH
THIS WEEK.

&&

.GUM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GU...NONE.
MARIANAS WATERS...NONE.
