Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) is currently located about 400 miles to the
north-northeast of Chuuk near 12.5N 150.8E and is moving west-
southwest at 8 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 160 mph. Chuuk is
currently located within strengthening west-southwest inflow on the
far southern periphery of STY Bavi, and will remain within its
peripheral influence in the next few days as the storm strengthens
and continues moving toward the Marianas.
Chuuk is expected to remain outside of the direct wind field of
Bavi, but surging west to southwest winds around 20 to 25 knots are
expected to continue building across the region south of the storm.
Models suggest west to southwest winds will peak sometime Saturday or
Sunday, maintaining seas hazardous to small craft, and a Small Craft
Advisory remains in effect for Chuuk through at least Tuesday
morning. Inter-island travel will be hazardous and should be avoided.
Additionally, west to southwest swell looks to build as STY Bavi
develops and moves away, which will lead to elevated. Hazardous surf
of 8 to 10 feet has forced an issuance of a High Surf Advisory
through at least Tuesday morning. At the same time, chances for
locally heavy showers will increase through early next week as the
strong west to southwest flow across the region funnels deep moisture
into the trailing convergence behind STY Bavi. Near-gale to gale-
force gusts are expected, especially near heavier showers.

Tropical Cyclone 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
