LongBeachSurfFreak Posted Sunday at 02:28 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:28 PM I’m surprised no one is talking about this. Likely the most intense storm in several years.https://x.com/zeb199818/status/2043312086869287255?s=46&ct=rw-null. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallopinggertie Posted Sunday at 08:08 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:08 PM Sinlaku is now forecast to pass directly over Saipan and Tinian. Really hope it misses, as those islands have already had bad hits from typhoons (like Yutu) in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Claridge Posted yesterday at 03:12 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:12 AM Sinlaku's eyewall looks like it's coming right at Saipan and Tinian. I'm not sure if Extreme Wind Warnings can be issued for the Northern Mariana Islands (I know they can, and have, been issued for Guam), but the situation appears as if it would warrant an EWW once the eyewall gets closer.

This is one dangerous storm. I wonder how good typhoon preparedness is in the Northern Mariana Islands, especially when it comes to a direct hit?

This is one dangerous storm. I wonder how good typhoon preparedness is in the Northern Mariana Islands, especially when it comes to a direct hit? The Mariana islands gets just about as many high end typhoons as anywhere else I nthe world. Saipan took a direct hit from a cat 5 back in 2018. I am guessing that Saipan didn't get much above cat 2 winds from this, with maybe some higher gusts. Good timing with the ERC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick05 Posted yesterday at 04:35 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:35 PM SPN reports had a couple hours of missing wind data.. this was the highest I could find the last 12 hours METAR PGSN 141154Z AUTO 06071G113KT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallopinggertie Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The extreme wind warning had to keep getting renewed over Saipan and Tinian as the giant eyewall slowly made its way across the islands. So while Sinlaku was weaker than Yutu, it was still plenty strong (cat 4 equivalent) and a very long-duration wind event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
