Typhoon NEOGURI (AMBO) to make landfall over Western Guangdong this PM... [Update #007]


Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #008
Name: TYPHOON NEOGURI [AMBO/02W/0801] 
Issued: 7:00 AM MANILA TIME (23:00 GMT) SAT 19 APRIL 2008
Source: JTWC TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING NUMBER 020
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
 
TYPHOON NEOGURI (AMBO) WEAKENS TO CATEGORY ONE AS IT APPROACHES THE
SHORELINE OF WESTERN GUANGDONG...THREATENS HONG KONG AND MACAU.
HONG KONG UNDER STRONG WIND SIGNAL NUMBER THREE.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: NEOGURI is expected to continue moving NE'ly,
weakening further into a storm and make landfall over Western Guang-
dong or about 100 km. West of Macau this afternoon (approx 3-4 PM HK
time). The dissipating core (eye & eyewall) of this system shall make
its closest point approach (CPA) to Hong Kong at around 11 PM to 12
midnight tonight with a distance of 115 km. to the NE. NEOGURI is
forecast to disspate just NE of Hong Kong by tomorrow afternoon,
April 20th. 

+ EFFECTS: NEOGURI's shrinking circulation is now in between the
coasts of Hainan and Western Guangdong. The inner bands of this
typhoon has left eastern Hainan and is now spreading across Western
Guangdong, with its disorganized Northern Eyewall just along the
shores of Western Guangdong. Moderate to heavy rains accompanied with
tropical storm force winds reaching 100 km/hr can be expected along
Western Guangdong, Macau & Hong Kong this morning, increasing to mi-
nimal Typhoon force winds in the afternoon through the evening. Mean-
while, Its outer bands continues to spread across much of Southern
China. These bands will continue to bring widespread rains & thun-
derstorms with light to moderate winds across the area today. Dete-
riorating weather conditions can be expected tonight until tomorrow
as the typhoon makes landfall over Western Guangdong. People living
in low-lying areas of Southern China particularly Western Guangdong,
Macau & Hong Kong must seek higher grounds for possible flooding due
to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this storm. Precau-
tionary measures must be fully implemented. Coastal Storm Surge floo-
ding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...along with large and
dangerous battering waves can be expected near and to the north of
NEOGURI's projected path particularly on where the center makes
landfall in Western Guangdong. Minimal damage is possible on this
type of storm surge. Far-fetched storm surge is also possible along
coastal areas of Hainan & Southern China.
 
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!

Typhoon NEOGURI (AMBO) lashing Eastern Hainan... [Update #006]


Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #007
Name: TYPHOON NEOGURI [AMBO/02W/0801] 
Issued: 7:00 PM MANILA TIME (11:00 GMT) FRI 18 APRIL 2008
Source: JTWC TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING NUMBER 018
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
 
TYPHOON NEOGURI (AMBO) HAS STARTED LOSING STRENGTH AS IT PASSES VERY
CLOSE TO THE EASTERN SHORELINE OF HAINAN...STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINS POUNDING THE ISLAND...AIMING TOWARDS WESTERN GUANGDONG.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: NEOGURI is expected to continue moving Northerly
passing very close to the northeastern coast of Hainan late tonightt.
The core (eye & eyewall) shall weaken slightly as it enters the Coast
of Southern China tomorrow morning and make its final landfall along
Western Guangdong tomorrow afternoon. The 2-day forecast shows NEOGURI
turning NNE'ly across Mainland China and dissipate by Sunday morning
(Apr 20). 

+ EFFECTS: NEOGURI's strong compact circulation is over the Eastern
Coast of Hainan. The inner bands of this typhoon has been spreading
across eastern Hainan with its strong western eyewall just along the
coast. Moderate to heavy rains accompanied with tropical storm force
winds reaching 100 km/hr can be expected along Eastern Hainan overnight.
Meanwhile, Its outer bands continues to spread across the whole of Hai-
nan and Guangdong Province including Macau & Hong Kong. These bands will
continue to bring widespread rains & thuderstorms with light to mode-
rate winds across the area overnight. Deteriorating weather conditions
can be expected tonight until tomorrow as the typhoon's inner bands and
its core moves closer to Western Guangdong. People living in low-lying
areas of Hainan and Southern China must seek higher grounds for possible
flooding due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this storm.
Precautionary measures must be implemented. Coastal Storm Surge flooding
of 6 to 8 feet above normal tide levels...along with large and dangerous
battering waves can be expected near and to the north of NEOGURI's pro-
jected path particularly on where the center makes landfall in Eastern
Hainan/Western Guangdong. Moderate damage is possible on this type of
storm surge. Far-fetched storm surge is also possible along coastal
areas of Northern Vietnam & Southern China.
 
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!
