SATELLITE AND ASCAT ANALYSIS SHOW A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE CENTERED
EAST OF BUTARITARI AND TARAWA AT ABOUT 3N179E...MOVING SLOWLY
TOWARD THE WEST. IT WILL TRIGGER SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MARSHALL ISLANDS IN THE COMING DAYS. A WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH NEAR POHNPEI IS CAUSING A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AS IT
MOVES TOWARD W-NW. MAINLY FAIR WEATHER PREVAILS OVER KOSRAE
TODAY...BUT CONVERGENT SURFACE WINDS COULD TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS
AT TIMES AND KOSRAE MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY
EAST OF TARAWA BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...LIGHT TO
MODERATE TRADE WINDS WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED FOR MAJURO...KOSRAE AND POHNPEI THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
