...TYPHOON CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF THE MARIANAS THIS
WEEKEND...

Tropical Depression 29W continues to organize as it continues
it's long voyage towards the Marianas, and is currently located at
10.6N 160.1E, which is 1030 miles east of Guam. Movement has been
to the northwest at 13 mph, and a more gradual turn to the west-
northwest is expected. It's important for folks to keep in mind
that wobbles in the track occur all the time, and a slight change
can make a big difference in terms of who experiences what, and
for how long.

The main theme we've been telling folks is tropical storm-force
winds look probable over some locations of the Marianas between
Guam and Saipan, with typhoon conditions also possible. Heavy
rainfall will also accompany the storm. Rainfall amounts of 5 to
10 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. For our mariners,
seas will rapidly build Saturday into Sunday, with seas likely
climbing above 20 feet. Some coastal inundation is likely.

Weather Service under WMO header WTPQ32 PGUM and the Tropical
Cyclone Warning issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center under
