Wet weather continues today

THE islands will continue to have wet weather today, according to the Emergency Management Office as part of the usual pattern in the rainy season that started intensifying last month.
Acting EMO director Ted Untalan said that yesterday’s heavy rain was part of the regular monsoon rains that usually come this month.
The heavy rain that started early yesterday morning left many streets, particularly in low lying areas, flooded.
EMO, based on information from the National Weather Service, said that “converging winds over the area will generate scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.”
The forecast said an east swell will predominate as seas remain between three and four feet.
The NWS said today will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the morning, then isolated showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
The isolated showers tonight will continue tomorrow with a slight chance of thunderstorms.
Marianas coastal waters will see three-foot wind waves and three- foot swells from the east with scattered showers in the morning and a slight chance of thunderstorms.
