Flash flooding threat diminished

The region will still experience a wet pattern but the threat of flash flooding is already diminished, according to the latest weather advisory.
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Guam and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, a surface trough continues to approach the Marianas from the east and will bring increasing showers to the region until Wednesday.
“Latest model guidance indicates the most likely timing for heavier showers will be [until] Tuesday night,” it said.
While a wet pattern still lies ahead, the threat of significant rainfall has diminished due to the lessened likelihood of a circulation forming within the passing trough axis. Showers and thunderstorms could be heavy at times through Tuesday night and could result in some nuisance flooding of streams and low-lying areas.
NWS will continue closely monitoring conditions for the possibility of significant rains and will issue advisories and warnings as needed. For the latest forecasts, warnings and advisories, see us on the web at weather.gov/gum.
The public is advised that localized flooding will be possible in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Ensure nearby storm drains are not clogged, especially for low-lying or flood-prone areas. (PR)
