A developing disturbance known as Invest 94W by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is located about 54 miles southwest of Kwajalein. Development is rated medium, meaning tropical cyclone development is likely beyond 24 hours. Scatterometry data indicates 15 to 20 kt winds near Kwajalein, Ebadon, Ujae, Bikini, and Rongelap, with winds up to 25 kt near heavier showers. Invest 94W will be generally slow to move, remaining over the northern Marshall Islands through Tuesday night. Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms may lead to locally heavy rainfall and flooding. Through Friday, 4 to 6 inches of rain with locally higher amounts is possible. Gusty winds and elevated, choppy seas will make marine conditions difficult. Residents may need to reconsider plans for inter-island boating as the week continues. 94W will continue to develop near Kwajalein over the next day or two, so residents in the northern Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI) should monitor the forecast for the next several days. For more information on Invest 94W please see the JTWC header ABPW10. Also keep up to date with the latest information from your local emergency management agency.
