^STY Cimaron is tracking westward along the southwestern
periphery of a section of the subtropical ridge located east
of Taiwan. Between 00 and 24 hours, STY Cimaron will pass
over the island of Luzon causing the system to slow and
weaken as it interacts with the terrain. As STY Cimaron
departs Luzon, another section of the subtropical ridge
located over northern Vietnam will become the primary
steering influence around 36 hours and begin steering
the system west-southwestward..
