AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoSuper Typhoon Bavi: The National Weather Service says Bavi is in its “final approach” to the Marianas, about 250 miles east of Guam and moving west-northwest at 8 mph, with maximum sustained winds around 155 mph (slightly down from Saturday’s 160–165 mph) but expected to strengthen again near 160 mph by Monday; forecasters warn it remains “very destructive,” with tropical-storm-force winds already possible Sunday night and typhoon-strength winds for northern Guam Monday, plus catastrophic damage risk near the center, major flooding, and dangerous seas. Marianas emergency posture: Guam and CNMI are stepping up readiness—Guam placed under COR 1/Tropical Cyclone COR 1 at noon, and CNMI is set to move to Typhoon Condition I for Saipan, Tinian and Rota and Tropical Storm Condition I for Alamagan at 5 p.m. today, with shelters and relocation urged for vulnerable residents. Supplies, shelters, and port shutdowns: Residents across Saipan and Guam have been boarding up, stocking water and groceries, and preparing for outages after April’s Sinlaku; the U.S. Coast Guard set Port Heavy Weather Condition YANKEE for Guam and CNMI ports effective noon, restricting inbound traffic and requiring large vessels to depart, with ZULU expected later. Community impacts: Thousands of Filipinos in the Marianas—about 70,000—are bracing as businesses secure property and families hunker down ahead of the storm’s closest approach late Monday morning (9–10 a.m.).
