rally steady WNW to NW'ly track for the next 3 to 4 days.

Palau to the West. Overcast skies with moderate to heavy
rains & gale-force winds of 55-65 km/hr will continue to
prevail tonight & tomorrow

range forecast suggests a surge of moderate to strong South-
west (SW) Monsoon which is likely to affect the Philippines
sometime July 12-14 (Thu-Sat)
due to the passage of MAN-YI
over the Philippine Sea, which is expected to enhance the
Monsoon system. Cloudy skies with intermittent passing
rains or thunderstorms can be expected across the country
w/ SW'ly winds of 30 km/hr or higher, becoming more intense
along Western Luzon & Western Visayas including Metro

AT 17 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, HOWEVER, THIS SPEED MAY BE
FAST DUE TO PREVIOUS UNCERTAINTY OF THE LLCC POSITION..
