Strong Thunderstorms Over Waters; Mariners Advised to Practice Caution

The National Weather Service (NWS) Guam Weather Forecast Office advised strong thunderstorms are over the coastal waters of Guam and Rota.

The strong thunderstorms are capable of producing winds to around 30 knots. These thunderstorms were located along a line extending from 32 NM east of Ritidian buoy to near Cocos Island, moving west at 15 knots.

Mariners can expect gusty winds to around 30 knots, potential waterspouts, locally higher waves, and lightning strikes. Boaters should seek harbor until these storms pass.

The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD) advise the community to practice caution in these conditions.
