DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CHST...2100 UTC...the center of Typhoon Sinlaku was
located near Latitude 21.8 degrees North and Longitude
146.7 degrees East. Sinlaku is moving northeast at 7 mph. It is
expected to maintain this general course with an increase in
forward speed through Sunday. The latest forecast track and
intensity, and overnight satellite scatterometry keep Agrihan on the
very outer edge of tropical storm conditions, but a combination of 
Sinlaku weakening and moving away should allow for sustained winds of
39 mph or greater to end within the next hour or two.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 80 mph. Sinlaku is
forecast to weaken through tonight.

Typhoon force winds extend outward from the center up to
70 miles. Tropical storm force winds extend outward from the
center up to 270 miles.

NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
An intermediate advisory will be issued by the National Weather
Service at 1100 AM ChST followed by the next scheduled advisory
at 200 PM ChST.
