+ Effects & Hazards: CONSON's (BASYANG) circulation continues to affect Hainan and Vietnam including the Gulf Of Tonkin, with its core (eye + eyewall) remaining near the southern coast of Hainan. Its inner (rain) bands spreading across Southern Hainan...while its outer (feeder) bands covering the rest of Hainan Island and Eastern Vietnam. Moderate to strong winds (40-60 kph) w/ occasional to widespread rains can be expected along its outer bands...while along its inner bands - strong winds (60-100 kph) w/ widespread rains is possible. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 100 mm (light, moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...
+ Current ITCZ Intensity: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rains w/ thunderstorms can be expected along the following affected areas: METRO MANILA, CENTRAL LUZON, BICOL, QUEZON, AND NORTHERN VISAYAS. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.
[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 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE (MS) IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO SHOW TIGHTLY WRAPPED CONVECTION AROUND THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) THOUGH THE DEEP CONVECTION IN SOME OF THE
FEEDER BANDS HAS STARTED TO ERODE IN RECENT HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS DIVERGENT OUTFLOW ALOFT AND IS IN
AN AREA OF 20-30 KNOTS OF NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE BANDING EYE FEATURE FOUND IN THE MS
IMAGERY AND IS IN CONCERT WITH THE RJTD POSITION ESTIMATE. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY OF 75 KNOTS IS BASED ON PERSISTENT 77-KNOT
ESTIMATES FROM KNES AND RJTD THOUGH THE 160532Z PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE
CAME DOWN TO 55 KNOTS (BASED ON THE WEAKENING CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE).
TY CONSON WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT TWO
DAYS AND SKIRT THE COAST OF HAINAN BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL IN THE
VICINITY OF HANOI, VIETNAM AROUND TAU 30. AFTER LANDFALL, THE SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY WEAKEN DUE TO THE AFFECTS OF MOUNTAINOUS
TERRAIN IN NORTHERN VIETNAM. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN VERY
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS TRACK FORECAST WHICH LIES SLIGHTLY WEST OF
JTWC CONSENSUS TO ACCOUNT FOR MODEL TRENDS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS WHICH HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE SYSTEM FURTHER WEST...(more)
