mph. Storm intensity was 150 mph.
.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
Super Typhoon Champi continues to move generally westward with a
slight southward turn over the last few hours, and a slight
decrease in forward speed. The eye remains very small and compact,
appearing to fill in with cloud cover in the latest visible
satellite imagery, with a width of around 5 miles across. It looks
to be going through an eyewall replacement cycle. GLD network
data shows frequent lightning within the deep convection along the
southern eyewall, which is beginning to exit radar range. Surface
observations from Guam International Airport show strong sustained
winds of 25 to 30 mph with frequent tropical storm-force gusts up
to 60 mph. At Saipan, winds are fresh to strong with gusts to 35
mph.
