Super Typhoon Champi Threatens Philippines and Taiwan After Path Shifts North

Typhoon Champi's forecast path has shifted northward; it is now expected to pass over waters north of Taiwan rather than make direct landfall. PAGASA reports the storm weakened from super typhoon status but is forecast to re-intensify upon entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility. The 120-hour probability of typhoon-force winds now exceeds 50% for four Taiwan regions.
