The 4th named storm of 2015 and possibly the 3rd named Typhoon is now brewing south east of Guam this weekend and is setting up to intensify in a strong typhoon by early next week. As of this Saturday morning JMA named the storm Maysak ( a Camodian name for a certain kind of tree) with winds of 35G50KTS and a pressure around 1002hpa. http://www.westernpacificweather.co...-to-a-become-a-major-typhoon-saturday-update/
Looks to be headed towards Taiwan or perhaps northern Philippines... Who knows? Potentially a very destructive storm system regardless.
Its very slow moving, but lets hope it moves well north. The wifes province can't take another hammering
It is heading for Laoag and Vigan in the north of Luzon but is forecast to weaken considerably as it crosses the east coast.
