Thailand early Sunday morning, EDT. At the time of landfall, highest
sustained winds were reckoned to be 80 to 90 mph. The winds were

continue to die off as it slowly moves northwest over the next 12-24
hours.

to see rainfall from the remains of the storm. Though winds were not
to gusty, rainfall over the past 24 hours was at nearly 3 inches with
rain still falling. Heavy rainfall is coming to an end over the area,
though as the storm continued to lose strength.

 A tropical depression out in the Pacific, 9W, near Yap, continues
to strengthen and is expected to become a typhoon within the next
24-48 hours. the storm should stay out to sea and not affect any land
