Event:
Typhoon Watch
Urgency:
Future
Effective:
July 3, 2026 - 4:46pm
Expires:
July 4, 2026 - 7:00am
Description:
* WHAT...A Typhoon Watch is in effect through at least Tuesday
night.
* WHERE...Marianas Coastal Waters.
* IMPACTS...Winds of near 150 kt with gusts to 180 kt. Seas of up
to 45 feet.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Typhoon conditions, including winds of 64
knots or more, are possible within the next 48 hours as Super
Typhoon Bavi (09W) approaches the region. Bavi, now a category 5
super typhoon, is undergoing rapid intensification and may
approach the islands as a Category 5 super typhoon. However,
there is still uncertainty as to which islands will receive the
strongest impacts. The latest model guidance continues to
indicate a path between Rota and Tinian, 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.
Instruction:
Prepare for the passage of
a strong typhoon sometime around Monday. Secure all vessels.
Conditions are expected to be catastrophic for small craft, and
extremely dangerous for any vessels of larger size. As Bavi
approaches, stay in safe harbor.
