Kwajalein Atoll Forecast
Monday, March 20, 2023
A pleasant evening is underway over Kwajalein Atoll, with partly sunny skies, stray showers, and northeast to easterly trade winds between 10-15 knots. These conditions will remain into Tuesday morning before shower activity begins to increase. Isolated showers are expected for Tuesday and will gradually increase to widely scattered showers into Wednesday morning. A weak Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will help to sustain periods of showers, heavy at times, for Wednesday through Friday along with a possible stray thunderstorm. Although, recent model runs are trending more southerly with this feature and becoming less organized compared to previous model runs and will be closely monitored. The subtropical ridge will also strengthen over the next few days with northeast to easterly trade winds between 12-18 knots throughout the work week. The upcoming weekend looks to see a return to a weakened subtropical ridge with decreasing winds and shower coverage as mid-latitude storm systems transit well to the north of the RMI. Shower coverage will be <10% tonight and increase to 10-15% tomorrow. Combined seas on the open ocean will be 3-5 ft. TLS
