A Marianas Weather Forecast

Western north Pacific between equator and 25N from 130e to 180. A monsoon trough stretches from 6N 130E to a weak circulation cenetered near 3N 141E. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms associated with the trough and circulation can be found between the equator and 7N from 130E to 140E and between the equator and 10N from 140E to 150E. This area covers portions of Palau and Chuuke state. Trade-wind convergence is producing scattered showers 150 miles either side of a line that stretches from 10N 158E to the equator and 167E between the equator and 5N from portions of the Marshall Islands. A shear line stretches from 25N 153E to 19N 144E to 20N 132E. Scattered showers were occuring along and 100 miles north of the boundary. Low-level convergence combined with favorable upper-level winds is generating scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms northeast of Wake Island between 20N and 25N from 166E to 175E. (If you got this far, you can see we lack geographic locations like Texas, or New England and have to use latitude and longitude. Guam is located roughly 13N and 144E - Ben)
