Special Weather Statement — Koror Palau Coastal Waters; Yap Coastal Waters
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
Typhoon Bavi is currently located 480 miles north of Yap and 720
miles northeast of Koror, Palau near 16.5N 138.5E moving west
northwest at 17 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 145 mph.

Although Yap and Palau are expected to remain outside of Bavi's
direct wind field, surging west to southwest around 20 to 30 knots
with gusts of 40 to 45 knots is expected. These stronger gusts are
most likely to occur near heavier showers and rainbands.

Hazardous marine conditions are on tap the next couple of days. Inter
island travel will be hazardous and dangerous surf will continue
along north and west facing reefs. Conditions look to improve late
this week into early next week.

For more information on Typhoon Bavi, please refer to the
Public Advisory issued by the National Weather Service under WMO header
WTPQ31 PGUM and the Tropical Cyclone Warning
issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center under WMO header WTPN31
PGTW.
