NWS / NOAA weather: Typhoon Warning issued July 5 at 3:27AM 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 this 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 continues to
strengthen and is still expected to pass through the Marianas at
Category 5 strength. However, there is still uncertainty as to
which islands will receive the strongest impacts due to irregular
longitudinal shifts in motion. The latest model guidance continues
to indicate a path near or just north of Rota, but the forecast
track will continue to change over the next 24 hours. All of the
islands will see impacts, but the islands closest to the storm
center passage will experience significantly worse conditions.
