Guam - According to the latest update from the National Weather Service a tropical disturbance centered about 500 miles Southeast of Guam is expected to bring periods of scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Marianas through Tuesday.

The tropical disturbance is moving slowly northwest. According to NWS it appears likely it will pass near enough to the Marianas to bring locally heavy rain at times through Tuesday, with wind gusts as high as 35 miles per hour possible in heavy showers. Faster than expected development could result in more wind and rain than currently expected, or even in the development of a tropical depression, according to the National Weather Service.
