A series of weather advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Tiyan, Guam, warning of hazardous surf and minor coastal flooding in Yap due to Typhoon Fung-wong. The advisories are in effect until Monday, November 10th, at 5:00 PM ChST.
According to the NWS, hazardous surf of 9 to 14 feet is expected on the north, west, south, and west-facing reefs of Yap. This surf is a result of Typhoon Fung-wong moving west-northwest away from Yap. The high surf, combined with King Tide high tide cycles, is likely to cause minor coastal inundation and increased erosion along the coastlines.
The impacts of the hazardous surf and minor coastal flooding include flooding of lots, parks, and roads, with isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions are also anticipated, along with localized beach erosion. Residents are advised to exercise caution and avoid water-related activities during this period.
In addition to the coastal flooding, a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued in parts of Arkansas, where visibility may be reduced to one quarter to one half mile due to residual low-level moisture and calm winds. This could create hazardous driving conditions, and motorists are urged to slow down and use low beam headlights.
The combination of hazardous surf in Yap and dense fog in Arkansas underscores the diverse and dynamic nature of weather patterns across different regions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of staying informed and prepared for changing weather conditions.
As communities navigate these weather challenges, it is crucial to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions to mitigate risks. By heeding the advice of weather authorities and staying vigilant, individuals can help minimize the impact of extreme weather events.
