3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NESAT (PEDRING) is expected to maintain its general WNW track troughout the forecast period with little change in its forward speed. On the forecast track, the center of the typhoon will pass more or less 300 km to the north of Bicol Region late this afternoon or evening...and will make landfall over Aurora Province - in the vicinity Casiguran Tuesday morning. NESAT will then cross the northern part of Central Luzon - moving across Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Benguet...and exit the area through La Union Tuesday evening. By Wednesday through Thursday, NESAT will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on its way towards Hainan Island, Southern China.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 150 km/hr (80 knots) with higher gusts. NESAT is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Slight strengthening will continue during the 24 hours...and NESAT could reach Category 3 strength before it makes landfall Tuesday. This system will gradually weaken just below typhoon strength as it traverses Luzon Tuesday...and will regain typhoon status upon moving back to sea by Wednesday. Meanwhile, land observations from the Typhoon2000.com Automated Weather Station in Naga City has already recorded wind gust of 40 kph blowing from the West at 9:24 AM local time and barometer readings of 999.3 millibars. The Rainfall Accumulation over the station since 12AM is now at 100.1 mm, with rain rate of 13-23mm/hr.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 55 kilometers (30 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 240 kilometers (130 nautical miles). NESAT is now a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 905 kilometers (490 nautical miles).
