Issued: 9:00 PM PhT (13:00 GMT) Wednesday 21 August 2013
Next Update: 6:00 AM PhT (22:00 GMT) Thursday 22 August 2013
Typhoon TRAMI (MARING) has slightly intensified as it passed to the north of Taiwan...fast approaching the coast of Fujian Province (Southeastern China). Deteriorating weather conditions expected along the path of the typhoon.
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 Occidental Mindoro, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Pangasinan and La Union tonight. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) struggling over the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean. Latest dynamic forecast models continues to show the system moving generally northwestward for the next 2 days. Its center was located about 445 km east-northeast of Wake Island or 4,965 km east-northeast of the Philippines (20.5N Lat 170.7E Lon)...with maximum winds of 65 km/hr near the center...moving NNW @ 22 kph. This storm is too far away to affect any part of the Philippines.
Residents and visitors along Taiwan and Southeastern China should closely monitor the development of Trami (Maring).

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to 130 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 45 kilometers from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (63-100 km/hr) extend outward up to 185 kilometers. Trami (Maring) has grown into a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 935 kilometers across. The 24-hour rainfall accumulation near the center of Trami (Maring) is estimated to be extreme (400 mm).
1-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*
Typhoon Trami (Maring) is expected to move generally westward during the next 12 hours...with a slight turn to the west-northwest thereafter. On the forecast track, the core of Trami (Maring) will make landfall over Fujian Province (Southeastern China) after or before midnight Thursday (approx 11pm to 1am)...passing over or very close to Fuzhou City. By Thursday evening, the typhoon will move over Jiangxi Province (Southeastern China).
Trami (Maring) will start to lose strength within the next 12 to 24 hours as it moves over land mass...weakening rapidly into a Tropical Storm (TS) on Thursday evening.
The following is the summary of the 1-day forecast outlook on this system:
THURSDAY EVENING: Moving over Jiangxi Province...just a weak TS as it dissipates rapidly...about 330 km west-northwest of Fuzhou City, China [8PM AUG 22: 26.8N 116.1E @ 65kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Tracks have an average error of 100 and 250 km respectively...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.
