TROPICAL STORM (TS) 04W (SONGDA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 190 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PALAU, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS TIGHTLY CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUING TO BUILD OVER THE CENTER. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE 22/06Z PGTW SATELLITE ANALYSIS FIX AND INTERPOLATED FROM MSI WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM KNES, RJTD, AND PGTW RANGING FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS. RECENT OBSERVATIONS FROM YAP AND PALAU, JUST EAST AND SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM RESPECTIVELY, AS WELL AS THE OVERALL STRUCTURE IN RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY (220446Z AMSRE) SUPPORT AN INTENSITY AT THE LOWER END OF THIS RANGE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN A REGION OF STRONGLY DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AND LOW (10-15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW, WHILE POLEWARD OUTFLOW (THOUGH IMPROVING), REMAINS SOMEWHAT LIMITED. TS SONGDA IS CURRENTLY STEERING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) AND IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY TRACK GENERALLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH TAU 48, BEFORE BEGINNING TO TURN POLEWARD AS AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH BEGINS TO WEAKEN THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE STR. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO STEADILY INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK OVER FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND WITHIN AN IMPROVING UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN FAIR AGREEMENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GFS AND GFDN, WHICH ARE AT THE OUTER EXTENTS OF THE AIDS ENVELOPE, BUT HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS CONSENSUS OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THIS FORECAST REMAINS CLOSE TO MODEL CONSENSUS (FAVORING ECMWF, NOGAPS, WBAR, AND EGRR) AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220600Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 221500Z, 222100Z, 230300Z AND 230900Z.// NNNN

Situation overview...
Tropical storm songda (04w) is moving northwest at 6 mph and is
expected to make a slight turn to the west-northwest as it gradually
intensifies. The center of songda continues to move away from both
yap and ngulu islands with conditions expected to slowly improve for
both locations through today.

...yap and ngulu...

.precautionary/preparedness actions...
Stay in suitable shelter away from the shore...protect yourself from
damaging winds...heavy rain and dangerous lightning...and make sure
you have adequate food and drinking water available until winds
subside. Small boats and craft should be secured and remain in port.

...wind information...
Damaging winds are still ongoing at yap and ngulu. Tropical storm
force winds of 30 to 40 mph from south and southeast are expected at
yap and winds of 30 to 40 mph from south and southwest are expected
at ngulu until noon. Winds should decrease during the day and fall
below tropical storm force by afternoon. Damaging winds may still
occur later this afternoon in heavier showers and thunderstorms.

...storm surge and surf information...
Offshore seas of 8 to 11 feet with surf heights of 10 to 13 feet on
exposed shorelines are expected today. Minor inundation is possible
for east and south facing exposures on yap and south and west facing
exposures on ngulu.

...other storm effects...
Numerous heavy showers and scattered thunderstorms will produce
additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches with locally heavier amounts
through today...resulting in flooding of poor-drainage and low-lying
areas. Heaviest rainfall is expected during morning hours before
showers begin to gradually diminish this afternoon. Showers and
isolated thunderstorms are expected to linger into monday.
