KWAJALEIN FORECAST
DISCUSSION
Generally dry
conditions are expected to continue for Kwajalein Atoll today and tonight as
the subtropical high pressure to our north, continues to promote a relatively
dry and stable atmosphere. Rain chances are expected to remain low over the
next couple days. Most showers that do develop and make it over the atoll are
expected to remain light and brief, but a stray shower or two could be a bit
heavier as mid-level moisture has crept up somewhat. Winds will be
northeasterly near the mid-teens through Sunday as the high pressure to the
north and a fragmented Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to the south act
to tighten the pressure gradient across the RMI. By Monday and Tuesday, a trade
wind trough is expected to approach our region, bringing increased shower
activity and potential thunderstorm risk with it through Wednesday morning.
There is still some uncertainty as to how far north the trough will ultimately
push; particularly on Monday. However, confidence is increasing at least for
some enhanced shower activity (and perhaps a stray thunderstorm) for the Monday
to Wednesday morning time frame. For now, shower coverage will be <10% today
and tonight. Combined seas on the open ocean will be 3-5 feet. NMK
