.STORM INFORMATION...
At 1 PM ChST...the center of Tropical Depression 29W was located

13 mph. 29W is expected to make a turn toward the west over the next

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
It is vital that you do not focus on the exact forecast track. To
do so could result in bad decisions and place you or those you
are responsible for at greater risk. Tropical Depression 29W is
currently moving west-northwest, but is expected to make a turn
toward the west through this evening. It is too early to provide
exact wind and surge forecast values for specific locations. A
general concern should be for the possibility of at least widespread
damage somewhere within Guam and the Northern Marianas. A Flood
Watch is also likely for the Marianas.
