AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR) TOMORROW.
...All interests in the Luzon and Eastern Visayas
should closely monitor the progress of Tropical
Depression 26W.
+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: 26W is expected to resume its fast,
WNW track with decreasing speed as it nears PAR and
intensify into a Storm. Since this is a small system,
some computer forecast models are blind in forecasting
this. The 2 to 3-day medium-range forecast shows it
turning due west, reaching Category 1 Typhoon by Wednes-
day Afternoon (Dec 20), sparing the Bicol Region on a
direct hit but a danger to Central and Northern Luzon.
Aside from the above forecast there are 2 scenarios that
can happen. Scenario 1 shows it moving West into Bicol-
Samar Area around Wednesday (Dec 20). Scenario 2 shall
move this cyclone NW into the weak part of the High
Pressure Steering Ridge and be absorbed by a passing
Cold Front (which is now moving off Japan) next week.
As of this time, these scenarios are still possible, how-
ever due to its sudden Northwesterly, the Central Luzon
landfall is most like. Please be aware that these fore-
casts changes every 6 hours. So, kindly watch out for
our succeeding advisories.
+ EFFECTS: This system is not yet affecting any Pacific
Islands.
+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: A surge of moderate to strong
Northeast Monsoon currently moving across Luzon bring clou-
dy skies with occasional rainshowers and winds of 30-60
km/hr winds becoming more frequent across Batanes, North-
eastern Luzon, Quezon, Bicol Region & Northern Samar.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast
outlook, effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical
cyclone watch changes every 06 to 12 hours!

WEAK DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE.
