(Tumon, Guam) Invest 97W is showing signs of organization, according to meteorologist Will Weaver. The area of low pressure has been moving west-northwestward for the past couple of days. As of 6 a.m. (ChST), 97W was located at 8.0º N and 162.5º E, or 1,268 miles east-southeast of Guam. It is near Kwajalein Atoll.
Early global tracking models show the potential storm passing south of Guam, if it even becomes a tropical cyclone. One of the tracks show the potential storm passing between Rota and Tinian. It still is too early to tell.
Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Perla now is Tropical Storm Neoguri (Perla, as it is known in the Philippines). Neoguri has taken a turn north from Luzon, but has moved very slowly, according to information from Mr. Weaver. It is no longer expected to bring tropical cyclone conditions to any land mass in the Pacific as it moves along.
Kandit will continue watching Invest 97W for our region.
