Typhoon Maysak first impacted Chuuk State, a group of Micronesian islands about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) southeast of Guam. Winds gusted as high as 71 mph Chuuk International Airport on Weno Island in the Chuuk State of Micronesian on Sunday, local time. (Chuuk is 14 hours ahead of eastern daylight time.)
As Maysak continues on a general west-northwest course, it is expected to strengthen, possibly undergoing a period of rapid intensification – defined as a gain in maximum sustained winds of at least 30 knots (about 35 mph) in 24 hours or less.
