No model support at this time but more rains in store for the islands.

Eastern Micronesia...
A weak tropical disturbance centered southwest of Chuuk near 3N146E
is the focus of scattered showers and thunderstorms in a broad area
from southeast of Yap to south of Chuuk. A surface trough stretches
east-northeastward from the disturbance, passing south of Chuuk and
Pohnpei, to near Kosrae and Majuro. Models show this trough slowly
weakening as it moves west with showers and thunderstorms subsiding
later today and overnight along the trough. Isolated thunderstorms
and periods of scattered showers will persist across most locations
from Chuuk to Majuro today with drier weather expected by Saturday.
Latest satellite animation shows heaviest weather has moved west of
Majuro and just north of Kosrae, but locally heavy rainfall is seen
over Pohnpei this morning and will continue at least through midday
today. Showers and thunderstorms will move in over Chuuk Lagoon by
daybreak. Looking ahead, a relatively drier pattern this weekend
could come to an end by Sunday night as a wetter pattern reemerges
across the region on Monday and Tuesday with increased convergence.

&&

.Western Micronesia...
Koror and Yap sit in between a tropical disturbance centered near
the southern Philippines and another weaker disturbance southeast
of Yap. Mid and upper-level cloudiness is seen over both Yap and
Koror, but recent IR satellite images shows convection is winding
down by sunrise. Expect weather conditions to slowly improve this
afternoon and overnight with moderate east-northeast trade winds
at least through Saturday. The next disturbance will approach by
Sunday and bring more convection to the region Sunday. Models do
keep much of this just south of Yap, so we will keep a close eye
on this. As for the disturbance southeast of Yap, models show no
significant development the next couple days as it heads west and
generally south of Koror.

GFS drops any system near Guam but still indicates some sort of tropical or subtropical system further east near the dateline.

Drops the dateline system and has another Philippine TC. Past few runs had a powerful typhoon making landfall over the Visayas.

GFS's been crazy the last 2 days. Been showing twins developing around Guam but varies in strength and location.

EURO for the past couple runs also hinting on lowering pressures around the area where the 2nd system develops.

In the short term, nothing much impressive in the models, but there's some hints the monsoon may try to develop in the far SW. The past several weeks we've seen weak circulations passing through, but nothing substantial. The season's not over yet, historically, Dec has produced some of the more notorious TCs


Image

Already starting to flare down there with another MJO expected to pass through.

Seeing some very low shear around the area where this will eventually develop.

Very erratic. That strong system it was developing is south of Vietnam and barely a TC. It has another right behind it. Next runs should be interesting.

The GFS sensing some type of outbreak occurring with 2 or 3 TC developing and impacting the Philippines and again Vietnam. Likely MJO related as the models try to develop multiple systems in the Indian Ocean at the same time. The WPAC still wants to join the party.

A low-latitude LPA may form between Borneo and Peninsula Malaysia, and cross the latter or Southern Thailand on the next few days.
The global models(GFS, ECWMF, CMC, NAVGEM) indicate that this LPA will further organize and strengthen once it enters the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal.

Models runs have been crazy GFS wise.

EURO shows a struggling system in the Philippine Sea during week 1.

Image

The GFS on the other hand still has twins developing with the second forming near the equator. Philippines and Guam hit?

00Z had a direct fujiwhara with the latter also making it to the P.I.

Image

06Z has less of an interaction with the first system sprawling and the second peaks it at 930's.
