Super Typhoon #Bavi now scraping Rota Island as the sun rises. It's 7:30am ChST local time and the storm is now traversing CNMI. Extreme Wind Warning has been issued already for Rota as Catastrophic Winds now ongoing there.
Residents of #Guam and the #CNMI should be taking precautionary measures now, as Bavi is highly likely to bring destructive and damaging winds to the islands. This is a dangerous storm and should not be taken lightly.
After passing Guam and the CNMI, Bavi is forecast to continue moving west-northwest before entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). As it progresses, the storm may bring stormy conditions to Northern Luzon, Taiwan, and Okinawa.
The exact track beyond this period remains uncertain, and confidence in the forecast is still limited. More time and additional data will be needed to determine the storm's eventual path with greater accuracy.
Bavi has intensified into a Severe Tropical Storm as it aim towards Guam and CNMI. This is expected to be felt over the said islands on Sunday to Monday as per forecast.
Bavi is expected to rapidly intensify into a strong typhoon which can cause severe damages especially near its center. Please take this storm seriously. You still have time to prepare.
The chances of damaging winds for Guam and CNMI remains HIGH
