Before I get into all the details of Melissa, there's just one system of note, Kalmagi. This system right now is just in the south end of the Philippine Sea. It's near Palau, and it's actually heading towards the Philippines. It's likely to impact the Philippines as a category one, borderline category two equivalent tropical system. And it's likely to continue over them and then intensify as it races toward Vietnam Thursday. Landfall in the Philippines expected sometime Monday evening in that ballpark or in that vicinity. So the system right now is rapidly intensifying.
