Kwajalein Atoll Forecast

KWAJALEIN FORECAST DISCUSSION
Expect mostly dry conditions today across Kwajalein Atoll, as the subtropical ridge becomes dominant over the region. Its upper-level influence will limit overall shower activity to stray coverage. Surface winds will be moderate, generally in the middle teens. A slight increase in shower activity is expected late tonight; however, further intensification of the ridge could narrow this window, allowing showers to diminish again shortly after sunrise tomorrow. The strengthening ridge will also tighten the pressure gradient, sustaining wind speeds in the mid to upper teens as the week progresses. A relatively dry pattern will persist through midweek, but by the weekend, redevelopment of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) may introduce a wetter pattern to the local area. Shower coverage will be <10% today, increasing to 10-15% late tonight. Combined seas on the open ocean will be 4-6 feet. MDM
