The Marianas has been put on Tropical Storm Watch as Tropical Depression 06W continues to make its way to Guam and the tropical disturbance is expected to become a tropical storm today.<\/p>\n

Due to the threat of the tropical depression, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres has declared Tropical Storm Condition 3 on Rota, which means that tropical storm conditions, including damaging winds of 39 mph or more are possible today, Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Homeland Security And Emergency Management Agency issued an advisory last night that localized flooding will be possible in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Check storm drains in your area to make sure they are not clogged. If planning anything outdoors, have a backup plan in place.<\/p>\n

According to the National Weather Service in Guam, the disturbance continues to move west-northwest at 13 mph and is expected to make a slight turn toward the northwest with a slight decrease in forward speed this afternoon and tonight. Maximum sustained winds currently remain at 35 mph with 06W forecasted to become a tropical storm sometime today.<\/p>\n

The center of Tropical Depression 06W was last seen at about 125 miles southeast of Guam, about 150 miles south-southeast of Rota, about 200 miles south of Tinian, and about 210 miles south of Saipan.<\/p>\n

Because of the system, Saipan should expect heavier showers and isolated thunderstorms today and throughout the week.<\/p>\n

The CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point will be monitoring the movement of Tropical Depression 06W and will be issuing out bulletins as they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
