FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 48 hours)*

16W is expected to continue moving WNW to NW-ward slowly for the next 24 hours and then turn sharply Northward within 36 to 48 hours. This system will gain strength and become a Tropical Storm tomorrow, Monday [2PM OCT 25: 16.7N 131.1E @ 75kph...2AM OCT 26: 17.8N 130.5E @ 85kph...2PM OCT 26: 18.9N 130.1E @ 95kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 55 km/hr (30 knots) with higher gusts.

EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)*

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON:  16W at near-Typhoon strength as it recurves NNE-ward...about 865 km East of Itbayat, Batanes, PH [2PM OCT 27: 21.3N 130.1E @ 110kph].
THURSDAY AFTERNOON:  Maintains its strength as it moves slowly NNE in the direction of the sea south of Japan...about 400 km SE of Okinawa, Japan [2PM OCT 28: 23.7N 130.5E @ 110kph].
FRIDAY AFTERNOON:  Starts to weaken as it moves out of the Philippines' Area of Forecasting Responsibility...about 330 km ESE of Okinawa, Japan [2PM OCT 29: 26.1N 131.3E @ 100kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.

EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

16W's circulation continues to improve, except for the north and northeastern portion. Below are the summary of the cyclone's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - None yet (click here to know more about CDO).
DEVELOPING RAINBANDS - continues to become better organized over the Philippine Sea. Light to moderate winds (<35 kph) can be expected over the area today. (click here to know more about Rainbands).
18-HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 50 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the developing rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 130 mm (modearate) located along 16W's periphery [view current NOAA's eTRaP graphic].
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - None (click here to know more about storm surge).

CURRENT ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies with isolated to scattered showers, rains & thunderstorms can be expected along these following affected areas: MOST PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES. Light to moderate SW, South, SE winds (not in excess of 35 kph) can be expected today. The prevailing strong La Niña conditions over the Pacific Ocean enhances the ITCZ to be more active across the Philippines.

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

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SUN 24 OCTOBER POSITION: 15.5N 132.6E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 16W (SIXTEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
710 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A
SHALLOW CONVECTIVE BAND AROUND A PARTIALLY EXPOSED, BROAD LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION THAT IS SLIGHTLY NORTHEAST OF THE MAIN CONVECTION. THE
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ABOVE ANIMATION AND A 240449Z AMSU-B
MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH POOR CONFIDENCE DUE TO HIGH CLOUD COVER AND POOR
MICROWAVE IMAGE RESOLUTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS AVERAGED BETWEEN
PGTW AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 25 AND 35 KNOTS, RESPECTIVELY.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A POLEWARD OUTFLOW BEGINNING TO
EMERGE AFTER THE TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO THE NORTH
MOVED FURTHER WESTWARD. TD 16W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE.
AN UPPER LEVEL, MID-LATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY TRACKING OVER CHINA IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD CAUSING THE STEERING RIDGE
TO WEAKEN AND REORIENT. THIS WILL THEN ALLOW TD 16W TO TURN POLEWARD
AROUND TAU 24. CONSEQUENTLY, POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
INTO THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH, FUELING GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION. AFTER
TAU 72, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO VEER SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AS IT
BEGINS EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. TOWARDS THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD, THE SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR INCREASES DUE
TO STRONG WESTERLIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET STREAM. THE AVAILABLE
NUMERIC GUIDANCE IS SPREAD OUT WITH NOGAPS AND WBAR FAVORING AN
EARLIER RECURVATURE. GFDN, UKMO AND JGSM ARE TRACKING TD 16W POLEWARD
INITIALLY AND THEN WESTWARD, PRESUMABLY AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH - AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO AT THIS TIME. THIS TRACK
FORECAST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENVELOPE BUT TO THE RIGHT OF
CONSENSUS TO OFFSET THE WESTWARD OUTLIERS..
