Invest 95W was upgraded to Tropical Depression 09W by JTWC earlier
this afternoon, about 245 miles north of Kosrae and 345 miles east-
northeast of Pohnpei, near 8.9N 162.9E. Tropical Depression 09W had
max sustained winds of 30 mph and was moving west at 12 mph. The
current forecast track takes the center of TD 09W to the north of
Pohnpei and Kosrae as it heads towards the Marianas and continues to
strengthen. While this track supports tropical storm or greater
conditions passing well north of Pohnpei and Kosrae, the main
concern will be the potential for surging west winds and elevated
westerly swell through Friday for Kosrae and into the weekend for
Pohnpei. This will lead to increasing, potentially hazardous surf
along west-facing reefs not usually exposed during typical trade
wind conditions. Additionally, rain bands within the outer south
periphery of TD 09W could still bring locally heavy showers over the
next few days, with model ensemble guidance indicating a possibility
for rainfall amounts between 1 to 2 inches through the beginning of
the weekend.

Typhoon Warning Center under WMO header WTPN31 PGTW and from the
