Description:
A developing disturbance known as Invest 94W by the Joint Typhoon
Warning Center (JTWC) is located about 54 miles southwest of
Kwajalein. Development is rated medium, meaning tropical cyclone
development is likely beyond 24 hours. Scatterometry data indicates
15 to 20 kt winds near Kwajalein, Ebadon, Ujae, Bikini, and Rongelap,
with winds up to 25 kt near heavier showers. Invest 94W will be
generally slow to move, remaining over the northern Marshall Islands
through Tuesday night. Scattered to numerous showers and isolated
thunderstorms may lead to locally heavy rainfall and flooding.
Through Friday, 4 to 6 inches of rain with locally higher amounts is
possible.
Gusty winds and elevated, choppy seas will make marine conditions
difficult. Residents may need to reconsider plans for inter-island
boating as the week continues.
94W will continue to develop near Kwajalein over the next day or
two, so residents in the northern Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI)
should monitor the forecast for the next several days.
For more information on Invest 94W please see the JTWC header
ABPW10. Also keep up to date with the latest information
from your local emergency management agency.
