TYPHOON CHANCHU (CALOY) WEAKENS INTO A CATEGORY ONE TYPHOON AS
IT MAKES LANDFALL ALONG SOUTHWESTERN FUJIAN OR JUST BETWEEN THE
CITIES OF SHANTOU AND XIAMEN.
+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: CHANCHU is expected to continue moving across
Fujian Province as a weakened Tropical Storm later today. Resi-
dents of Southern China (Fujian Provinces) are advised to take
precautionary measures as the Category 1 typhoon passes by...
mapping out disaster preparedness plans during CHANCHU's approach
must be completed now to avoid loss of lives and properties.
+ EFFECTS: CHANCHU's inner core has begun to decay while inter-
acting across the Fujian landscape..however, strong winds and
heavy rains can still be felt across SW and Southern Fujian
today. The inner and outer rainbands continues to spread across
Southern China particularly Hong Kong, Eastern Guangdong and
Western Fujian. These rainbands particularly the inner bands
will continue to bring moderate to heavy rainfall with moderate
to strong, damaging winds and could produce flying debris, life-
threatening flash floods and mudslides along river banks, low-
lying areas and mountain slopes over the affected areas. Resi-
dents residing along the coastal beachfront areas of Southern
China are advised to seek higher grounds due to possible high
waves from the sea. Coastal Storm Surge flooding from 4 to 5
feet can be expected along the path of CHANCHU advising all
sea vessels to remain at port and avoid passing over it.
+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: This storm is currently enhancing
the Southwesterly Windflow bringing moderate to sometimes heavy
rains in some sections of the Philippines. These rains may
produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides along river
banks, low-lying areas and mountain slopes of the affected areas.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook,
effects & current monsoon intensity changes every 06 to 12 hours!

EYEWALL PASSAGE FORECAST TIMES (EPFT):
Southern Fujian: Ongoing until 9AM Thu.
Note: The EyeWall - is the ring of rain clouds surrounding the "EYE" of a Typhoon. It is here where
the strongest winds and heaviest rain of a typhoon can be found. EPFT will show what local times
on a given area the most damaging winds and heaviest rainfall could be experienced. EPFT
changes everytime a new warning synopsis is issued. Important: This is only an estimate
analysis, do not use this for life/death decisions.
