Full official description
Bulletin details
As Invest 96W continues to slowly organize and strengthen north of Kosrae/east of Pohnpei, inflow into the developing disturbance will allow for locally heavy rainfall to develop, with over 1 inch per hour rain rates probable from time to time. Rainfall totals will likely be 2 to 5 inches tonight through Wednesday, with locally higher amounts possible. Winds will also increase as 96W strengthens, and at least isolated wind gusts to 35 knots are possible with any heavy shower or thunderstorm that develops. 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. Also keep up to date with the latest information from your local emergency management agency.
