Typhoon Dolphin Bears Down on Guam, Rota Island; Typhoon Warnings Issued
The Weather Channel ^ | 5-14-2015 | Linda Lam

The western Pacific has been hyperactive so far in 2015, and now Typhoon Dolphin is bearing down on Guam.

The National Weather Service has issued a typhoon warning for Guam and Rota Island. This means typhoon conditions - including winds of 74 mph or stronger - are expected within 24 hours. A typhoon watch and tropical storm warning is in effect for Tinian and Saipan, where tropical storm force winds - 39-73 mph - are expected.

Dolphin is currently about 340 miles east-southeast of Guam as of late Thursday morning, EDT with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, a strong Category 2 equivalent storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Dolphin is expected to take a bit of a northwest bend, but will not have time to avoid what looks to be a direct hit on Guam or Rota Island late Friday afternoon or evening local time. Guam is 14 hours ahead of U.S. EDT.

A Dolphin Bear is a football player who used to play for the Miami Dolphins but now plays for the Bears.
