STORM INFORMATION: At 7 AM ChST, the center of Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) was located near latitude 14.2N, longitude 145.5E. This was about 70 miles northeast of Guam. Storm motion was west-northwest, 290 degrees, at 9 mph. Storm intensity was 180 mph.
-
SITUATION OVERVIEW: The eyewall of Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) is passing over Rota, and an Extreme Wind Warning is in effect. Catastrophic winds in excess of 150 mph are expected across the entirety of Rota through the next several hours. This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Following the initial period of catastrophic winds, relatively calm conditions will prevail during eye passage. Do not venture out. Extremely dangerous winds will soon return on the back side of Super Typhoon Bavi.
For Guam, Tinian, and Saipan, Bavi is making its nearest approach. Damaging, strong tropical storm force winds of 58 to 73 mph are being felt at minimum. Sustained, destructive typhoon force winds of 74 mph or greater have been observed on Saipan, and may be expected for Tinian, and even northernmost points of Guam. After passing directly over Rota, Bavi is forecast to continue west- northwest at roughly 10 to 13 mph, with the typhoon-force wind field expected to depart the islands by late afternoon.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads. Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become unstable and unsafe.
-
WHAT: For the Coastal Flood Warning, significant coastal flooding. For the High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves of 4 to 19 feet in the surf zone.
-
WHERE: Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan.
-
WHEN: For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 4 PM ChST Wednesday. For the High Surf Warning, until 4 PM ChST Thursday.
-
IMPACTS: Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure will be inundated. Significant shoreline erosion will occur. Waters will be deadly.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Dangerous surf is ongoing along north, east, and south facing reefs today as Super Typhoon Bavi makes its way across Rota and typhoon force conditions continue, spreading to west facing reefs soon after. Surf will potentially build to 35 feet this morning, especially near Rota, and 30 feet elsewhere as Bavi makes its passage through the Marianas as a Category 5 Super Typhoon. During the passage of Bavi, coastal inundation could approach 12 feet, especially near the storm center passing over Rota due to the dome effect. Once Bavi exits to the west- northwest by Tuesday, coastal inundation and erosion is likely to increase along west facing shores while easing elsewhere.

WHAT: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
-
WHERE: Guam, Rota, Saipan and Tinian.
-
WHEN: Through late Tuesday night.
-
IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- Intense showers and thunderstorms from Super Typhoon Bavi continue across the Marianas. Satellite-based estimates indicate rainfall amounts between 12 and 20 inches possible during passage of STY Bavi, especially near the center of the system, moving near or over Rota in the next hour or so. These profoundly intense showers and thunderstorms are likely to produce flash flooding across the Marianas through Tuesday night.
