Rip Current Statement issued March 3 at 3:44PM ChST until March 4 at 4:00AM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated trade swell is bringing a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs of the Marianas through late tonight, with some likelihood of the Rip Current risk Statement to be extended if conditions warrant.
Rip Current Statement issued March 3 at 2:15AM ChST until March 4 at 4:00AM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A large swath of enhanced trade-winds extended east-northeast from Guam for several hundred miles. This is due to a tight pressure gradient as high pressure to our north is taking it's time to slide eastward. As such, it's not out of the question that the high risk for rip currents may need to be extended further with later forecasts. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If caught in a rip current, relax

Coastal Flood Statement issued March 2 at 2:10PM ChST until March 3 at 3:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding expected. * WHERE...North and east facing shores of Majuro. * WHEN...Through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Some water and debris on low lying roads and property near the shore. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Tides will be elevated through Monday due to the current new moon phase. Also, a couple pulses of long-period northerly swell will move through the area through Monday, mixing with the primary northeast to east swell affecting the region. Together, the elevated tides and swell will increase water levels along north and east facing shores that face the open ocean, increasing the potential of some minor
Flood Advisory issued March 2 at 11:59AM ChST until March 2 at 1:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. * WHERE...Entirety of Guam. * WHEN...Until 100 PM ChST. * IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Dangerous flows over low-water crossings. Water over roadways. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 1158 AM ChST, satellite estimates indicate heavy rain in the advisory area.

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated northeast trade swell will continue to bring a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs through the weekend, gradually easing down early next week.
Rip Current Statement issued March 1 at 2:33AM ChST until March 3 at 5:00AM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Surf observations and buoys show that northerly swell has diminished enough to no longer support a High Surf Advisory along north facing reefs. Elevated northeast trade swell is still expected to bring a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs through the weekend.
