525 WWPQ81 PGUM 070736 SPSPQ1 SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU 536 PM ChST Thu Nov 7 2024 PMZ181-072200- MAJURO- 536 PM ChST Thu Nov 7 2024 ...DEVELOPING CIRCULATION TO AFFECT NORTHERN ATOLLS OF THE RMI... A circulation, Invest 93W, was centered at 8.2N 174.7E...or roughly 245 miles east-northeast of Majuro and moving slowly to the west- northwest. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center rates this developing circulation as a medium risk for development, which means development into a tropical cyclone (tropical depression) is likely beyond 24 hours. As 93W moves through the northern Marshalls, there will be an increasing potential for strong gusts and bursts of heavy rains. Current model guidance shows sustained winds reaching to near 25 mph with gusts to around 40 mph along with rainfall accumulations of 4 to 7 inches through Saturday. Seas will quickly become choppy in response to the stronger winds so caution is urged for any boating activities. Seas are expected to range between 6 and 8 feet, but could become higher with strong gusts. Residents across the Marshall Islands should continue monitoring local weather forecasts from the National Weather Service in Guam, and for additional information from your local Weather Service Office and emergency management.
