EVENING FORECAST FOR

KWAJALEIN FORECAST DISCUSSION

Quiet conditions are expected to continue tonight and tomorrow across Kwajalein Atoll. The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) remains fragmented to the east of the RMI, leaving the region with relatively dry conditions. Mid-level moisture has been reduced and the lower-level convergence and upper-level divergence will not be conducive for heavy downpours and thunderstorm activity through tomorrow. Winds have been calm at times this morning and very light this afternoon out of the east-northeast and will continue out of this typical direction, increasing in speed into the upper single digits to around 10 knots overnight and into tomorrow. Higher gusts will be possible near showers. Shower activity may begin to make a comeback by Tuesday as the ITCZ looks to reorganize past the date line, and towards the RMI. The more significant shower and thunderstorm threat will arrive by the middle of the workweek as a potent atmospheric wave associated with a strengthening ITCZ reaches the Atoll. The active weather could extend into the latter part of the workweek with the ITCZs presence nearby. Shower coverage will be <10% tonight and tomorrow.  Combined seas on the open ocean will be 2-4 feet. JTE
