3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

DOKSURI (DINDO) is expected to resume moving west-northwestward throughout the forecast period. On the forecast track, the core of Doksuri will pass near the Northeastern Coast of Cagayan between 2-5 PM today and traverse the Balintang Channel, before exiting into West Philippine Sea. The storm will pass over Hong Kong Harbour on Saturday afternoon as a decaying system and will completely dissipate over land, along Guangdong Province by early Sunday morning.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) remain near 65 km/hr (35 knots) with higher gusts. An increase in strength will be expected as the system moves across Balintang Channel and into the West Philippine Sea today until Friday. DOKSURI will start losing strength prior in making landfall over Guangdong Province, Southern China on Saturday.

DOKSURI is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 890 kilometers (480 nautical miles).

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

FRIDAY EARLY MORNING: Intensifying as the system moves away from the Balintang Channel...about 119 km WNW of Calayan Island [2AM JUN 29: 19.8N 120.5E @ 85kph].
SATURDAY EARLY MORNING: Reaches its peak strength as the system moves across the West Philippine Sea (aka. South China Sea)...heading towards Hong Kong [2AM JUN 30: 21.5N 116.0E @ 95kph].
SUNDAY EARLY MORNING: Rapidly dissipating over Guangdong Province, China...no longer a Tropical Cyclone...just WNW of Hong Kong [2AM JUL 01: 23.3N 112.2E @ 35kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...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

RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Luzon incl. Metro Manila. Cloudy/Rainy Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (<62 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 201 to 250 mm (high) along areas near the center of Doksuri (Dindo). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
