COMMUNITY BRIEFS – April 12, 2022
Wind advisory no longer in effect
The wind advisory is no longer in effect across the Marianas.
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Guam and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, surface observations show that winds continue to subside. This trend will continue through the night, but some areas in the higher elevations of the CNMI could still see occasionally stronger gusts. Gusty conditions are also possible near showers.
As a precautionary measure, the public is advised to use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high-profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects. (PR)
