Showers and Gusty Winds Expected for Mariners; Practice Caution

The National Weather Service (NWS) Guam Weather Forecast Office issued a marine weather statement for Guam coastal waters. A line of heavy showers, and possibly a few thunderstorms, are over shore waters east of Guam, moving west at 15 to 20 knots. This line of showers and storms is capable of producing wind gusts near 30 knots, and will likely move to waters west of Guam by this afternoon.

Mariners can expect gusty winds to around 30 knots, locally higher waves, and lightning strikes. Boaters should seek safe harbor immediately until this storm passes.

A thunderstorm advisory is in effect for the Guam International Airport until 2 p.m. this afternoon. Thunderstorms are possible or occurring within 20 nautical miles of the airport. Be alert and take precautions as required.

The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD) remind the community to heed the advice of NWS and practice caution while traveling in these conditions.
