are expected.

* WHERE...Guam and Rota Coastal Waters.

* WHEN...Onset of damaging winds beginning tonight. Onset of
destructive winds after midnight with typhoon force winds early
Sunday morning. Damaging winds will continue into at least Sunday

toward the Marianas. The exact path of 29W remains subject to
change. However, guidance supports a passage through Guam coastal

expected to strengthen further today as it approaches, then move
through the region as a Category 3 typhoon Sunday morning. Seas
are quickly rising, with significant sea heights reaching as high
as 35 feet near the eye wall of Champi. Dangerous sea conditions
may continue into Monday.
