3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*
MAWAR is expected to move NNE for the next 12 to 24 hours, before turning NE to ENE-ward during 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). By Wednesday afternoon, the typhoon will be downgraded to a Tropical Storm as it encounters unfavorable atmospheric conditions (lower sea surface temperatures & increasing upper-level winds e.g. vertical wind shear).
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 175 km/hr (95 knots) with higher gusts. MAWAR is expected to reach Category 3 status later tonight or early Monday, before losing strength sometime Tuesday. It will start transitioning into an Extratropical Cyclone by Wednesday.
Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 65 kilometers (35 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 285 kilometers (155 nautical miles). MAWAR 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:
MONDAY AFTERNOON: Attains Category 3 status...accelerates NNE towards Okinawa-Ryukyu Area [2PM JUN 04: 22.7N 127.1E @ 195kph].
TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Starts decaying...weakens to Category 1 after passing to the SE of Okinawa...exits PAR [2PM JUN 05: 26.7N 131.4E @ 150kph].
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: Downgraded to a Tropical Storm (TS) while passing well to the south of Honshu, Japan...becoming Extratropical [2PM JUN 06: 30.7N 138.7E @ 100kph].
*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
Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:
CLOUD-FILLED/RAGGED EYE - over water (North Philippine Sea). Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). EYEWALL - over water (North Philippine Sea). Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - over water (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions with Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (Philippine Sea)...no longer affecting any land areas. 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 510 mm (high to very high) along areas near the center of MAWAR (AMBO). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic). COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 6-8 ft [1.8-2.6 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal, inland lakes and beach front areas of Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Group of Islands, Isabela and Cagayan. Moderate damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Eastern & Southern Luzon including Bicol Region.
