Typhoon Chaba continues to approach the southern parts of the
Japanese mainland as of early Sunday morning, EDT. Though the storm
has crossed near some of the Ryukyu Islands, the storm has not
brought much in the way of strong winds to many of the islands. The
storm was 295 miles south of Sasebo, Japan, and was moving to the
northwest at 12 mph. Winds were sustained at over 115 mph with gusts
of over 145 mph. The storm is forecast to take a more northeastward
track and move over the southern parts of Japan as a weak Typhoon.
Typhoon Songda is continuing to move to the west-northwest at 18
mph as of early Sunday morning, EDT. The storm is currently over open

of 80 mph with gusts of over 95 mph. Songda is forecast to continue
strengthening as it moves north of Guam and into the western Pacific
over the next several days.
Heavy rains indirectly linked to a tropical depression, now
dissipating, soaked Guam Thursday and Friday. A total of 4.4 inches of

total rainfall for the month of August stood at 35.2 inches whereas
August's mean rainfall is 13.6 inches. Through Saturday, nearly 107
inches of rain have fallen here since the start of the year; this is

rain fell.

central Pacific and away from any land. The storm as of early Sunday
morning, EDT, is 730 miles west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

moving west at 13 mph as it is expected to continue on a general
westward track over the next few days as it weakens.
