KWAJALEIN FORECAST DISCUSSION
Dry weather and moderate trade winds will persist across Kwajalein Atoll today and tonight. The subtropical high pressure system to the north continues to supply our middle and upper atmosphere with dry and stable air, but has weakened enough to relax the pressure gradient across the RMI. Winds are expected to remain in the low to middle teens over the next few days. A fragmented Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) resides south of the RMI, but remains too distant from the local area to produce a significant effect on today’s weather. Similar conditions may be expected tomorrow as well, but at the same time, the ITCZ may begin creeping closer towards Kwajalein, potentially leading to a gradual increase in mid-level moisture. The influence of the ITCZ may bring increased cloud cover tomorrow, possibly followed by boosted shower chances on Sunday and Monday, especially during the morning period each day. Periods of light to moderate rain may be expected during the weekend if this comes to pass, and a localized heavy downpour may be possible as well, potentially providing much-needed rainfall to the atoll, which is currently about 2.96 inches below average for the year. Shower coverage will be <10% today and tonight. Combined seas on the open ocean will reach 5-7 feet. JTE
