...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan. * WHEN...From Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Tropical Storm Sinlaku is slowly approaching the Marianas and is expected to strengthen, possibly crossing Guam as a typhoon possibly as early as Monday morning. This is expected to produce 15 to 20 inches of rainfall between Sunday night and Wednesday for Guam and Rota, with 8 to 15 inches expected for Tinian and Saipan. Widespread showers, torrential rain and scattered thunderstorms are expected as Sinlaku moves through the Marianas Monday through Wednesday morning. As showers are likely to persist, consistent rainfall is likely to produce flash floods and saturate the soils enough to increase the chance for mudslides over central to southern Guam. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Residents of the Marianas need to closely monitor this developing situation as flash flood warnings will likely be issued later. If living near streams and rivers, move items away from stream and river banks. Make sure storm drains nearby are not clogged, especially If living at low-lying areas.
