KWAJALEIN FORECAST DISCUSSION

Satellite imagery shows most of the central and northern RMI devoid of cloud cover except for a small patch of low cloudiness moving through Kwajalein Atoll. A light shower will be possible this evening around the atoll due to some slight speed convergence, but overnight should be mostly dry with scattered low cloudiness. Tomorrow, an area of trade-wind stratocumulus clouds and light showers, currently at 175°E, will approach the area and give us a few more clouds and a slightly better chance of rain. Winds will continue to be seasonally breezy. The chance for precipitation is <10% tonight and 10% tomorrow. Combined seas on the open ocean will be 7-9 ft tonight, increasing to 8-10 ft tomorrow.
