...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A large swath of enhanced trade-winds
  extended east-northeast from Guam for several hundred miles.
  This is due to a tight pressure gradient as high pressure to our
  north is taking it's time to slide eastward. As such, it's not
  out of the question that the high risk for rip currents may need
  to be extended further with later forecasts.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS  ACTIONS...

  If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against
  the current. If able, swim in a direction following the
  shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
  for help.
