REMARKS: 2 PM (06 GMT) 27 NOVEMBER POSITION: 10.7N 138.3E.
^An approaching mid-latitude low-pressure trough is forecast
to weaken the steering ridge over Luzon after 72 hours; TS
Durian will track northwestward toward this developing weak-
ness. TS Durian is forecast to reach maximum intensity prior
to making landfall in the Philippines, and will weaken slight-
ly due to terrain interaction and disruption of the low level
inflow, and drier air becomes ingested into the
circulation.
