3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

BANYAN (RAMON) is expected to move WNW to NW-ward during the next 2 to 3 days...with a decrease on its forward speed later in the forecast. On the forecast track, the core of the storm will be approaching the NE Coast of Surigao Del Norte tonight...passing over or very near Surigao City Wednesday morning...and will traverse the major islands of the Visayas (Camotes Island-Cebu-Northern Negros-Panay) this morning through Thursday morning. BANYAN will pass over the Southern Coast of Mindoro Thursday morning...and will be over the West Philippine Sea on Friday.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 65 km/hr (35 knots) with higher gusts. BANYAN (RAMON) is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale...and should still intensify before it interacts with the Visayan Islands today.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-85 km/hr) extend outward up to 30 kilometers (15 nautical miles). BANYAN (RAMON) is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 665 kilometers (360 nautical miles).

The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:

WEDNESDAY EVENING:  Starts to cross Eastern Panay...downgraded to a Tropical Depression (TD). [8PM OCT 12: 11.0N 123.0E @ 55kph].
THURSDAY EVENING:  Regains TS strength...enters the West Philippine Sea [8PM OCT 13: 13.4N 119.2E @ 65kph].

**Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): There is a possibility that BANYAN (RAMON) will move more northwesterly and pass over Southern Leyte instead...cutting across or just south of Masbate...and crossing Mindoro.
