Rapid dissipation of this cyclone will be expected within the next 24 to 48 hours due to land interaction and frictional effects.
This typhoon will continue to induce the Southwest Monsoon (Hanging Habagat) - bringing cloudy and windy conditions with "on-and-off" slight to moderate to sometimes heavy rains across the western sections of Luzon and Visayas...becoming more frequent along the coastal areas of Bataan, Zambales, Pangasinan, Ilocos Provinces and La Union today. Improving weather conditions will be expected beginning til Friday. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) continues to move slowly across the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean. Latest dynamic forecast models continues to show the system intensifying as it moves generally northwestward during the next 3 days. Its center was located about 415 km northeast of Wake Island or 4,830 km east-northeast of the Philippines (21.5N Lat 169.9E Lon)...with maximum winds of 65 km/hr near the center...moving WNW @ 11 kph.
