Tropical storm Bopha (26W) continues to track westward, forecast to become a typhoon within 12 hours. The current path will take 26W far south of Guam over the next couple of days, with further steady strengthening. Bopha will then move somewhat south of Yap, and to the north of Palau, with the JTWC forecast showing 110 knot sustained winds…in approximately 120 hours.
Thereafter, this strong typhoon will move over the warm waters of the Philippine Seas, which will increase its danger to land areas further west, especially the Philippine Islands. Late in the forecast there’s a poleward shift, somewhat north of the ongoing westerly track…this could have some bearing on whether the Philippines receive a direct impact or not.
