Good morning on a Friday of a short week. Did you accomplish what you needed to do this week? I have a lot to finish today to call this a good week, to be honest.
Let’s have a look at the weather shall we?
Grab your #Coffee, take a moment with God, then get your to-do list out and get started
Tropical Storm Fengshen is headed toward the far Northern Mariana Islands, and a weaker circulation north of Chuuk is moving to the west, according to an advisory from Guam Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense.
No watches or warnings are in effect for Guam or the Northern Marianas, and Fengshen is not expected to directly affect Guam.
But our area can expect rain later this week.
“As Tropical Storm Fengshen approaches to the far northeast and the Chuuk circulation approaches to the southeast, clouds and moisture will increase with isolated thunderstorms expected by Friday,” according to the advisory. “Once the two systems have cleared the area by Friday night or Saturday, fair weather will return.”
As of 7 a.m., Fengshen was located 17.1 degrees north latitude and 157.1 degrees east longitude, about 765 miles east of Saipan and 855 miles east-northeast of Guam. It is moving west-northwest at 18 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.
The National Weather Service is monitoring Tropical Depression 26W, which has formed northeast of Pohnpei.
Tropical Depression 26W is expected to intensify and pass a few hundred miles north of Agrihan in the Northern Marianas by Friday, according to a Tuesday afternoon advisory from the National Weather Service.
The system poses no threat to Guam at this time, but the Office of Homeland Security/Civil Defense is urging the community to monitor developments.
As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, the tropical depression was centered near 15.3 degrees north latitude and 161.6 degrees east longitude, about 625 miles north-northeast of Pohnpei and 1,135 miles east of Guam. It is moving west-northwest at 15 mph with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.
On its current track, 26W is expected to move toward the northwest and then north. It is expected to become a tropical storm by Wednesday.
