This Local Statement provides information and recommended actions for
people on Kayangel in the Republic of Palau and Ngulu in Yap state.

.WATCHES/WARNINGS...
A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Kayangel in the Republic
of Palau and Ngulu in Yap state.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that Tropical Storm Conditions,

next 24 hours.

.STORM INFORMATION...
At 700 AM ChST, the center of Tropical Depression 30W was located
near 6.4 degrees north latitude and 139.2 degrees east longitude. 30W
is moving west at 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds are at 35 mph.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
Winds will likely increase as Tropical Depression 30W both approaches
and slowly intensifies. Tropical Depression 30W is currently under
considerable shear, so the amount of intensification is uncertain,
and will likely tend toward less. For that reason, watches have been
issued rather than warnings.

Service at 3 PM ChST, or sooner if conditions warrant.
