Archived official description

* WHAT....Typhoon conditions, including winds of 64 knots or more are expected. * WHERE...Guam Coastal Waters and Rota Coastal Waters. * WHEN...Onset of damaging winds beginning Saturday night. Onset of destructive winds Sunday morning. Damaging winds will continue into at least Sunday night, possibly longer if conditions warrant. * IMPACTS...Destructive winds will produce dangerous seas that could damage, capsize or sink vessels, along with drastically reducing visibilities in heavy rain. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Tropical Storm Champi (29W) continues to move quickly toward the Marianas. The exact path of 29W remains subject to change. However, guidance supports a passage through Guam coastal waters, with damaging winds moving in Saturday night and lasting into at least Sunday night. Champi is expected to strengthen further today and Saturday as it approaches, then move through the region as a typhoon Sunday morning. Seas will quickly rise, with significant sea heights reaching as high as 35 feet during closest passage of Champi. Dangerous sea conditions may continue into Monday.

Instructions in this archived message

Prepare for the passage of a typhoon Sunday morning. Secure all vessels. Conditions are expected to be catastrophic for small craft, and extremely dangerous for any vessels of larger size. As Tropical Storm Champi approaches, stay in safe harbor.
