3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

MAWAR is expected move NNE for the next 12 to 24 hours before turning NE to ENE-ward over the next 48 to 72 hours. On the forecast track, the core of MAWAR will pass to the southeast of Okinawa, Japan on Tuesday early morning and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 150 km/hr (80 knots) with higher gusts. MAWAR is expected to continue gaining strength reaching Category 2 status later tonight or early Monday. It will start losing strength beginning Tuesday - as the system moves into an area of cooler sea surface and starts transitioning into an Extratropical Cyclone.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 30 kilometers (15 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 280 kilometers (150 nautical miles). MAWAR is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 610 kilometers (330 nautical miles).

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

MONDAY EARLY MORNING:  Attains Category 2 status...accelerating slightly NNE [2AM JUN 04: 20.5N 125.8E @ 165kph].
TUESDAY EARLY MORNING:  Starts to weaken slowly as it passes to the SSE of Okinawa...exits PAR [2AM JUN 05: 24.3N 128.5E @ 160kph].
WEDNESDAY EARLY MORNING:  Weakens into a Category 1 typhoon while passing well to the south of Japan...becoming Extratropical [2AM JUN 06: 27.9N 133.2E @ 140kph].

*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.
