A strong westerly monsoon pattern persists across western Micronesia. The worst conditions have generally shifted west of Chuuk State but a high surf advisory remains in effect for Weno until Sunday morning. For Yap and Palau, monsoon conditions are expected to remain until Monday morning. This includes seas hazardous to small craft and hazardous surf. The monsoon conditions could persist through Monday night and the Small Craft and High Surf Advisories may needd to be extended. This will be the last SPS unless a significant change in the forecast occurs. This monsoonal pattern will make inter-island travel hazardous and potentially dangerous at times so travel is discouraged through the rest of week and into the weekend. Watch out for high surf along west and north facing reefs and pay attention to surf and sea conditions. Residents across Yap and Chuuk States should continue to monitor local weather forecasts from the National Weather Service in Guam, and for additional information from your local Weather Service Office and emergency management.
