TYPHOON HAGUPIT (RUBY) UPDATE NUMBER 010
Issued at: 7:30 PM PhT (11:30 GMT) Friday 05 December 2014
Next Update: Saturday Early Morning, 06 December 2014


Typhoon HAGUPIT (RUBY) has slowed down further while maintaining its strength over the Philippine Sea...remains a serious threat to Eastern Visayas and Bicol Region. The potential landfall area of this cyclone is along the northern part of Eastern Samar between 8PM-10PM, Saturday (Dec 06).

This typhoon will continue to enhance the Northeast Monsoon (Hanging Amihan) - bringing mostly cloudy and windy conditions and cooler temperatures across Northern and Central Luzon beginning Friday...becoming more frequent with possible occasional slight to moderate rains along eastern sections of Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Northern Quezon. The threat of flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes of the affected areas. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions.


Residents and visitors along Southern Luzon, Visayas and Northeastern Mindanao should closely monitor the development of Hagupit (Ruby).

2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*

TY Hagupit (Ruby) is expected to move slowly west to west-northwest throughout the outlook period. On the forecast track, TY Hagupit (Ruby) will be traversing the west-central part of the Philippine Sea...crossing the north-central part of Samar Island by Saturday evening...and shall be over Ticao-Masbate Area by Sunday afternoon...and over the northeastern part of Mindoro Island on Monday afternoon.

TY Hagupit (Ruby) is expected to continue losing strength throughout the outlook period as it interacts with the cool dry air of the Northeast Monsoon and increasing unfavorable, upper-level winds (aka. vertical wind shear). Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows its 10-minute maximum sustained winds decreasing to 160 kph by Sunday afternoon.

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

SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Maintains its weakening phase while moving slowly generally westward approaching the coast of Eastern and Northern Samar...about 80 km northeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar [2PM DEC 06: 12.1N 126.0E @ 205kph].
SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Weakens further after making landfall and crossing over the central-northern part of Samar...passing over Ticao Island...about 25 km north-northeast of Masbate City, Masbate [2PM DEC 07: 12.5N 123.7E @ 160kph].
MONDAY AFTERNOON: Continues to weaken as it turns to the west-northwest...making landfall anew over the northeastern part of Mindoro...about 40 km southeast of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro [2PM DEC 08: 13.1N 121.4E @ 120kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Track has 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.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above hazards summary and forecast outlook changes every 6 to 12 hrs!
