Typhoon Choi-Wan

If your wondering where all the rain is coming from lately it is because a typhoon is approaching near Guam and the Northern Marianas.  Typhoon Choi-Wan will make its closest approach to the island tommorrow afternoon.  The typhoon doesn’t pose a threat to the island of Guam because it won’t pass in close proximity to Guam to be much of a threat, but the island will still experience lots of rain and high surf because of the typhoon.  So expect a wet and rainy next few days on the island!
