New system developing rapidly well east of Guam. Joint Typhoon Center feels this could intensify rapidly due to UL to it's NE. Track brings it near Guam and Saipan in 5 days with strong ridge to it's north to provide westward track.

Actually, WPAC has been hot all year-we are up to number 20 now which we normally don't reach out there until mid September.
