Additionally, anomalously warm water has persisted near the dateline the past several months. This warmer than normal water has encouraged convection near the dateline and suppressed convection farther west over much of Micronesia, especially far western Micronesia. This includes Yap state, the Republic of Palau and the Mariana Islands.
In the Mariana Islands, no official water conservation measures are in effect. Saipan is most susceptible for impacted groundwater but officials report water levels are still above thresholds for concern.
All guidance points to continued dry weather with only a few weak disturbances providing a few showers at times. The National Multi- Model Ensemble continues to suggest drier than normal weather will continue for the next month or two. This is consistent with the synoptic pattern. The Marianas can expect 0.5 to 1.5 inches during the next 10 days.
