An active monsoon pattern will continue to bring scattered to numerous, locally heavy, showers and isolated to scattered thunderstorms across portions of Yap State through this evening. Frequent lightning, wind gusts to 30 knots, and choppy seas can be expected with thunderstorms. Inter-island travel will be hazardous through at least this evening. Then, a relative lull in shower coverage is expected after midnight as showers and thunderstorms weaken.
