Tropical Depression 15W passing through the Marianas Tuesday night or early Wednesday as a tropical storm or weak typhoon. The latest forecasts show 6 to 10 inches of rainfall are likely, with locally higher amounts near 12 inches possible.


There is a high possibility for damaging winds of 39 mph or more and/or destructive winds of 58 mph, and heavy rains, to arrive as early as Tuesday morning. Waves may increase, possibly exceeding 15 feet, as fresh to strong sustained winds potentially develop.


There remains uncertainty for the exact track of the system as it approaches the Marianas. Any one, or several islands, may take a near miss or a direct hit next week.
