Taipei, Sept. 24 (CNA) The chances that a sea warning will be issued for Typhoon Megi on Sunday are high, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said Saturday.

The CWB said Megi, which was upgraded from a tropical storm to a typhoon on Saturday afternoon, is moving steadily toward Taiwan, and a sea warning could very well be issued for the storm on Sunday night.

The bureau had previously said that a sea warning for Megi, the 17th storm of the typhoon season to form in the Pacific, would be issued Monday at the earliest.

A land warning is now likely to be issued on Monday, the bureau said, and it warned the public to take precautions.     [FULL  STORY]
