1:30 p.m. Sunday, June 25, Guam time: A tropical cyclone formation alert has been issued on a disturbance about 120 miles east of Guam by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Guam’s National Weather Service issued a special statement at noon advising of scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms, occasional heavy rain and gusty winds Sunday into Sunday evening as it continues west-northwest.

Though early forecast tracks show a generally northwest path, it’s too early at this point to say if the disturbance will threaten the Philippines, Taiwan or Okinawa; model guidance is all over the place at this point. We’ll keep a sharp eye on it. PST out.
