TYPHOON LUPIT [RAMIL/22W/0920]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 011

View: Advisory Archives (2004-2009)

  • Typhoon LUPIT (RAMIL) approaching Category 3 strength...drifting slowly northward. Threat to Luzon continues.

    *Residents and visitors along Luzon should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).

    *Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.


    + Forecast Outlook: LUPIT is expected to slow down further for the next 24 to 48 hours. The 3 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT resuming its Westward track as a new High Pressure Steering Ridge building off China strengthens. This ridge shall steer LUPIT into Extreme Northern Luzon between Monday to Thursday (Oct 19-22). LUPIT shall make landfall over Northwestern Cagayan on Wednesday afternoon Oct 21 and move across Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte Wednesday evening. It shall be over the South China Sea on Thursday Oct 22. *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a possibility that LUPIT may track WSW earlier than forecasted and track across Central Luzon - if the new high pressure ridge located off China strengthens more.  Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a shift to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

    + Effects: LUPIT's circulation remains large w/ a 22-km. Ragged Eye. Its southern outer feeder bands slowly moving away from Ulithi and Yap Islands - where improving weather conditions can be expected today. This typhoon is not yet affecting Northern Luzon, however, if the forecast track pushes through, deteriorating weathern conditions can be expected beginning Monday. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 75 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated accumulations of up to 400 mm (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT particularly along its projected path.

    [Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, effects, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!]

    REMARKS: 2 PM (06 GMT) SAT 17 OCTOBER POSITION: 15.6N 132.3E.
    *ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN
    INCREASE IN STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION, WITH WELL DEFINED BANDING
    WRAPPING AROUND AN IMPROVING EYE. CURRENTLY THE DEEPEST BAND OF
    CONVECTION IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LUPIT AND IS WRAPPING
    INTO THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SYSTEM. THE STRUCTURE HAS BECOME
    MORE SYMMETRIC OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS AS WELL, A CHANGE FROM THE
    LAST PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE. A RECENT 170120Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS
    THAT THE WIND DISTRIBUTION IS SYMMETRIC ABOUT THE LOW LEVEL
    CIRCULATION CENTER, SUPPORTING THE MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY. THE TRACK
    SPEED HAS MAINTAINED AT 07 KNOTS SINCE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND HAS
    NOT CURRENTLY SHOWN SIGNS OF SLOWING, HOWEVER THE CONTINUED
    DEVELOPMENT OF THE MID-LATITUDE TROUGH OVER THE EAST CHINA SEA,
    WHICH IS DIGGING TOWARDS NORTHERN LUZON, INDICATES THE LOW- TO MID-
    LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE STEERING TY 22W WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN. THIS
    WEAKENING IS IN LINE WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST, AND SUGGESTS THAT
    THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF DECREASED TRACK SPEEDS IN THE NEXT
    12 TO 24 HOURS...
