NWS / NOAA weather: Typhoon Warning issued July 4 at 8:51PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...A Typhoon Warning remains in effect through at least Tuesday
night.
* WHERE...Marianas Coastal Waters.
* WHEN...Damaging winds expected from late Sunday afternoon through
early Tuesday morning. Destructive typhoon force winds expected
early Monday morning through early Monday afternoon with the
passage of Super Typhoon Bavi.
* IMPACTS...Sustained winds of 150 kt with gusts to 180 kt near
the center. Seas of up to 45 feet near the storm center.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Typhoon conditions, including winds of 64
knots or more, are expected within the next 24 hours as Super
Typhoon Bavi (09W) approaches the region. Bavi, now a Category 5
Super Typhoon, continues to strengthen and is expected to pass
through the Marianas at Category 5 strength. However, there is
still uncertainty as to which islands will receive the strongest
impacts. The latest model guidance continues to indicate a path
near or just north of Rota, but the forecast track will see
adjustments over the next 48 hours. All of the islands will see
impacts, but the islands closest to the center's passage will
experience significantly worse conditions.
