high winds is likely to increase. The latest forecast is for tropical
storm force winds from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning
and typhoon force winds from Tuesday evening to early Wednesday
morning. Winds peak in the late evening 70 to 80 mph, gusting 100
mph or higher. A general concern should be for the possibility of
moderate to major damage somewhere within the area.

especially during high tide. Seas of 18 to 22 feet are possible.
Hazardous surf conditions are possible beginning tonight and
continuing through at least Thursday. The highest surf conditions are

dangerous for north and west facing reefs on Wednesday as Bolaven
passes to the northwest of the Marianas.

...INLAND FLOODING...
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the entire area. See latest
forecast for latest information. Listen for possible flood warnings
for your location, and be ready to act if flooding rains occur. Soils
are already wet from previous rainfall, so it won't take much to
cause flooding.
