TYPHOON KONG-REY (01W) TRACKING WEST-NORTHWEST AS IT MOVES
PAST SAIPAN...CIRCULATION BECOMING MORE COMPACT.
+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: KONG-REY is expected to turn back to the NNW and pass the smaller islands of the Northernmost
Marianas with its closest approach to Saipan this morning
(approx 50 km. to the NE). Later in the afternoon, the
typhoon shall track more to the North, passing very close
to the west of Agirhan Is. The 24-hr to 4-day medium to
long-range forecast (Apr 04-07) shows the system recurving
towards the NE and shall start weakening over the open
waters of the Western Pacific due to increasing upper-
level winds (wind shear).
+ EFFECTS: KONG-REY's circulation has become smaller. How-
ever, its SW outer bands continues to affect the Northern
Marianas, bringing scattered rains & winds not in excess of
60 km/hr. The inner (rain) bands are now spreading across
Saipan-Tinian and shall reach Agrihan this afternoon or
early tonight. Typhoon conditions is now being felt along
the smaller islands North of Saipan. Coastal Storm Surge
flooding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...along
with large and dangerous battering waves can be expected
near and to the north of KONG-REY's projected path.
+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: N/A.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast
outlook, effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical
cyclone watch changes every 06 to 12 hours!
