    + Forecast Outlook: NIDA is expected to slow down slightly and weaken further down to Category 4 as it begins recurvature for the the next 2 days. The 3 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows the system downgraded to a Category 2 Typhoon and will begin to enter the mid-latitude westerly windflow (westerlies) & accelerate towards the ENE by early Monday morning (2AM Nov 30: 24.0N 143.9E)...about 2,265 km East of Taiwan or 280 km ESE of Iwo To (formerly Iwo Jima). NIDA will continue to move faster ENE-ward across the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean by early Monday morning (2AM Nov 30: 27.6N 151.6E) and weaken into a Category 1 Typhoon while it transitions into an Extratropical Cyclone. By early Tuesday morning, NIDA will become Extratropical (2AM Dec 02: 31.4N 161.8E). Based on this forecast, this system will no longer enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). *Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): Only one forecast guidance model, the JGSM predicts NIDA to turn towards the left towards the Philippines on a West to WSW track due to an approaching High Pressure Ridge off China. This scenario remains very poor at this time. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other possibilities must be considered.

    + Effects & Hazards: NIDA's southeastern outer rainbands still spreading across Marianas including Guam & Saipan, bringing passing rains with squalls across the area. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 100 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the outer and inner bands...with isolated amounts of 200 mm (heavy rain) near the center of Nida. Click here to view the latest NOAA's eTRaP graphic on the storm's rainfall amount. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Marianas including Guam & Saipan. Extensive damage is likely on this type of storm surge.

    + Current NE Monsoon Intensity: MODERATE >> Partly sunny to cloudy skies & light to moderate northeasterly winds (not in excess of 30 kph) with occasional widespread rains, squalls (subasko) can be expected along the following affected areas: EASTERN LUZON, BICOL REGION, QUEZON, MASBATE, & NORTHERN VISAYAS.

    [Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, effects, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!]

    *ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS THE 20-NM EYE IS BEGINNING TO FILL AND
    BECOME MORE ASYMMETRICAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE OVERALL CONVECTIVE STRUC-
    TURE HAS BECOME MORE ELONGATED WITH THE GREATEST EXTENT OF DEEP
    CONVECTION SHIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM CENTER. BASED ON
    DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, KNES AND RJTD,  THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED
    SLIGHTLY DOWN TO 135 KNOTS OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS, ALBEIT IT STILL
    REMAINS A SUPER TYPHOON. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MESOSCALE
    ANTICYCLONE ALOFT CONTINUES TO PROVIDE STRONG RADIAL OUTFLOW. FUR-
    THERMORE, WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS IMPROVED POLEWARD OUTFLOW
    AS THE SYSTEM'S NORTHERN PERIPHERY IS NOW GETTING EXPOSED TO THE
    STRONG WESTERLIES. STY NIDA IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SLOWLY NORTH-NORTH-
    WESTWARD TOWARDS OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS BEFORE IT CRESTS THE
    SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS AND BEGIN ACCELERATING INTO THE MID-LATITUDES.
    THE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A RECURVA-
    TURE SCENARIO. HOWEVER, THE JGSM SOLUTION CONTINUES TO DEPICT A
    WESTWARD TRACK AFTER 24 HOURS AND THE UKMET SOLUTION FAVORS A
    QUASI-STATIONARY TRACK AFTER 24 HOURS BEFORE FINALLY RECURVING
    THE SYSTEM LEFT OF THE ENVELOPE...
