TROPICAL DEPRESSION 30W (WILMA) UPDATE NUMBER 001

Issued at: 8:00 AM PhT (00:00 GMT) Monday 04 November 2013
Next Update: 12:00 NN PhT (04:00 GMT) Monday 04 November 2013


The area of low pressure over the southern Philippine Sea, east of Surigao Provinces has strengthened and becomes Tropical Depression (TD) 30W locally named Wilma...threatens the quake-ravaged areas of the Visayas with heavy rains that can cause flashfloods and landslides. This system is expected to traverse Central Visayas today.

Meanwhile, another newly-formed cyclone, Tropical Depression 31W (Haiyan) has been spotted gradually developing over the easternmost part of the Caroline Islands, near Chuuk State of the Federated States of Micronesia. As of 5:00 am today, its center was estimated about 160 km SE of Chuuk or 2,915 km east of Southern Mindanao (near 6.3N 152.6E). With maximum winds of 55 kph near the center and was moving westward at 30 kph in the general direction of the Caroline Islands-Micronesia Area. Various dynamic forecast models indicate this system will rapidly intensified into a powerful Typhoon and has the potential of becoming our next Super Typhoon due to the warm sea surface temperatures along its track. The models also show a very rapid movement towards Central Philippines w/ a possible landfall over Eastern Visayas-Bicol Area on November 08 (Friday). The public are advised to monitor this dangerous threat as its formative location is similar to that of last year's STY BOPHA (PABLO).

Residents and visitors along Northeastern Mindanao, Visayas and Palawan should closely monitor the development of 30W (Wilma).
