...TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SOUTHEAST OF GUAM NOW TROPICAL DEPRESSION...

CORRECTED EXPIRATION TIME

THE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY CENTERED ABOUT 555 MILES SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF GUAM NEAR 7N149E HAS BECOME TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR THE CENTER ARE 30 MPH. THE DEPRESSION
HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY BUT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN MOVING
NORTHWEST. THIS WILL BRING THIS SYSTEM CLOSER TO THE MARIANAS DURING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE FIRST WARNING FROM THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER BRINGS THE CENTER OF THE DEPRESSION ABOUT 170 MILES
TO THE SOUTHWEST OF GUAM VERY EARLY ON THURSDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W IS A LARGE INTENSIFYING SYSTEM AND IS
EXPECTED TO BRING SIGNIFICANT WINDS AND RAINS TO THE MARIANAS LATER
THIS WEEK EVEN IF THE CENTER DOES NOT PASS VERY CLOSE.

ACCORDINGLY...RESIDENTS OF THE MARIANAS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
WILL UPDATE THIS STATEMENT AS NEEDED WHEN NEW FORECAST INFORMATION
BECOMES AVAILABLE. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE REFER TO PUBLIC
ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UNDER TCPPQ1 WITH A WMO
HEADER OF WTPQ31 PGUM.
