.EASTERN MICRONESIA... LIGHT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK NEAR-EQUATORIAL TROUGH WILL LINGER ACROSS CHUUK AND POHNPEI STATES THRU THIS WEEKEND...AND ACROSS KOSRAE STATE AND THE MARSHALL ISLANDS UNTIL THIS WEEKEND. AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING OVER POHNPEI AND CHUUK COULD TRIGGER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THRU FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD PREVAIL ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...GENTLE TRADES FILTERING WESTWARD FROM EAST OF THE DATE LINE MIGHT INCREASE SHOWER CHANCES NEAR MAJURO AND KOSRAE. LONG PERIOD SOUTHEAST SWELL PRODUCED BY MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS NEAR FIJI AND SAMOA IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT KOSRAE AND POHNPEI THRU FRIDAY. HIGHER SURF AND RIP CURRENT RISKS ARE ANTICIPATED ALONG SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST FACING SHORES BUT HAZARDOUS SURF IS NOT EXPECTED.
