MICRONESIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU
555 PM CHST SAT JUN 13 2009
.EASTERN MICRONESIA...
LITTLE CHANGE TO PREVIOUS FORECASTS. TWEAKED FIRST PERIOD OF MAJURO 
AND KOSRAE TO REFLECT PRESENT CONDITIONS. SURFACE TROUGH AT THE DATE 
LINE SHOULD REACH MAJURO SUNDAY. KOSRAE IS ON THE FRINGE OF SOME 
SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT SHOULD BE WEST OF THEM BY LATE TONIGHT WITH 
CLEARING BY SUNDAY. A TROUGH PASSED THROUGH POHNPEI WITH MOST OF THE 
PRECIPITATION TO THE SOUTH. SHOWERS COULD BACK-BUILD ON TO POHNPEI 
TONIGHT DUE TO UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE BUT CONDITIONS WILL PROBABLY 
BE AT WORST MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS.  
&&
.WESTERN MICRONESIA...
IR IMAGERY SHOWS CLOUDS WITH COLD CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES ASSOCIATED 
WITH A SURFACE TROUGH JUST WEST OF CHUUK. THESE CLOUDS ARE MOVING 
NORTHEASTWARD. SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS EVENING SHOULD BE WEST OF 
CHUUK BY MIDNIGHT. LONG TERM FOR CHUUK...GENERALLY FAIR CONDITIONS 
WILL PREVAIL WITH A WEAK TROUGH ENTERING THE AREA LATE MONDAY. 98W 
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWEST ALONG THE MONSOON TROUGH TAKING MUCH 
OF THE CONVECTIVE FORCING WITH IT. EXPECT A GRADUAL RETURN TO 
RELATIVELY BENIGN PATTERN FOR YAP AND KOROR AS RIDGING TRIES TO 
BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST. OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR 
CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE OVERALL FORECAST FOR KOROR AND YAP.
