The storm had brought heavy rain in the region around the CNMI and Guam since last Friday until late yesterday.

The National Weather Service in Guam said Krosa's heavy showers and thunderstorms are shifting gradually to the northwest, allowing drier weather to build over the Marianas.

With the rough weather persisting over the region, the CNMI Homeland Security and Emergency Management issued yet another set of flood, high surf, and small craft advisories yesterday.
