“Mawar is intensifying on approach to Guam. The latest forecast track has Mawar as a Category 4 typhoon very near or over Guam during the day on Wednesday. The triple threat of cat 4 typhoon force winds, torrential rains and life-threatening storm surge are all expected for Guam and Rota. Large storm surge and coastal impacts are likely to occur just north of the center. If the center of Mawar passes just south of Guam, significant coastal impacts would spread to Merizo, Inarajan and vulnerable coastal stretches southeastern Guam,” says a National Weather Service bulletin.
