AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU
449 PM CHST SUN JAN 26 2014

.MARIANAS SYNOPSIS...A STATIONARY FRONT WAS DRAPED OVER THE
LOCAL AREA. THIS FRONT BROUGHT ON AND OFF SCATTERED SHOWERS TO
THE MARIANAS TODAY. EXPECT THIS WEATHER FEATURE TO GENERATE
UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WINDS ARE FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST OVER THE AREA. EARLIER
FORECAST AND SOME OF THE EARLIER MODEL RUNS DID NOT HAVE THIS.
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE SLID SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA
AND ALLOWED THE NORTHERLY WINDS TO PREVAIL. THE LATEST UKMET DID
HAVE THIS SO USED IT FOR THE NEAR-TERM WIND FORECAST. EXPECT THE
NORTHEAST WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AND THE DAY MONDAY.

A CIRCULATION IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF GUAM THIS AFTERNOON. THE
FRONT WILL TRANSITION INTO A TROUGH OVER THE MARIANAS. AS THE
CIRCULATION MOVES SLOWLY WEST IT WILL DRAG THE TROUGH WEST. THE
TROUGH WILL PASS OVER THE ISLANDS AND ALLOW EAST TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS TO PREVAIL. THE CIRCULATION WILL PUSH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
OVER THE ISLANDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. EXTENDED THE
FORECAST TO REFLECT THIS. SOME MODELS HINT AT KEEPING THE SHOWERS
OVER THE MARIANAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE IN GOING THAT
FAR...BUT SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST MAY EVENTUALLY NEED
TO BE EXTENDED

&&

.MARINE...
MODEL SWELL PROJECTIONS ARE LOWER THAN WHAT BUOYS INDICATE. USED
DATA FROM THE BUOYS TO INITIALIZE THE FORECAST. BOTH BUOYS DO SHOW
THE SEA HEIGHTS FALLING. THE HEIGHTS ARE STILL HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP
HIGH SURF WARNING AND SMALL CRAFT WARNING OUT. THE DOWNWARD TREND
IS SUCH THAT FELT IT WAS OK TO ALLOW BOTH WARNINGS TO TRANSITION
INTO ADVISORIES AT 6 PM THIS EVENING. LARGE SWELLS WILL CONTINUE
TO SUBSIDE AND BOTH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AND HIGH SURF ADVISORY
SHOULD END SOMETIME TUESDAY.

.EASTERN MICRONESIA...WILL BE SENT LATER.
