Typhoon Bavi could strengthen over the open sea near Mariana Islands

  • In the United States, within the next few hours, Typhoon Bavi may intensify into a super typhoon after passing Sinlaku.
  • The forecast says Typhoon Bavi may strengthen into a super typhoon within the next day or so; at the same time, it is expected to be near the 760-mile mark to the west of Guam.
  • Sinlaku’s remnants in the waters of the Mariana Islands have been causing intermittent electrical activity, while the lightning continues to strike over the same area.

According to the U.S. model, the American storm will continue to move over the open sea, and it may become a super typhoon that Typhoon Bavi could become. It is expected to last for several hours, as the region is already under Super Typhoon Sinlaku.

At the same time, the U.S. forecast indicates that Sinlaku’s remnants over the open sea will not intensify further. The materials indicate that the lightning continues to strike over the same area.

According to the forecast, Typhoon Bavi may intensify into a super typhoon within the next day or so, or at least continue to intensify, as it moves toward the Mariana Islands. The materials also note: the cyclone’s current status is a super typhoon, which has a maximum sustained wind of 150 mph (241 kph) or higher.

As of now, Typhoon Bavi has weakened by 760 miles (1,223 km) west of Guam and the maximum sustained wind has decreased to 80 mph (129 kph). The materials also say that what is expected to happen is that the remnants will move over the Mariana Islands, where it will likely be stronger than Super Typhoon Sinlaku.

The U.S. weather office in Saipan says that at this time, the system is expected to move westward and pass near the island of Guam. The materials also say that Guam is expected to be hit by the cyclone, which could bring strong winds and heavy rain to the island.

In addition, based on the materials, the wind speed is expected to increase, and the cyclone is expected to intensify into a super typhoon. The forecast says that it may strengthen further as it approaches the Mariana Islands, and that it may reach hurricane-force winds in the coming days.
