TYPHOON MIRINAE [SANTI/23W/0921]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 014

12:00 PM PST (04:00 GMT) Fri 30 October 2009

View: Advisory Archives (2004-2009)

  • Typhoon MIRINAE (SANTI) has slightly moved again WSW...approaching the coastal areas of Northern Bicol...endangers Camarines Norte.

    *Residents and visitors along the Bicol Region, Eastern, Southern and Central Luzon should closely monitor the progress of MIRINAE (SANTI).

    *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: The core (eye & eyewall) of MIRINAE is expected track more WSW within the next 12 hours, passing very close to Northern Camarines Sur...about 120 km. North of Naga City or 70 km. North of Siruma around 6 PM tonight...and passing very close to Camarines Norte - about 65 km. North of Daet around 8 PM tonight. Around midnight, the core will move across Polillo Island and make landfall over Infanta, Quezon around 2 AM tomorrow, Saturday...then traverse Central Luzon passing over Rizal-Northern Metro Manila around 3 AM...hitting Quezon City around 4 AM (about 28 km. North of Manila)...and across the Provinces of Bulacan, Southern Pampanga and Southern Zambales...passing over Subic Bay/Olongapo area between 5-9 AM tomorrow. Around noontime tomorrow, MIRINAE will be over the South China Sea. The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows the system approaching the coast of Vietnam as a downgraded Tropical Storm due to increase wind shear over the area on Nov 1 through Nov 2...and then will make landfall over Vietnam on Monday Nov 02 and dissipate over Cambodia on Tuesday, Nov 03. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other possibilities must be considered.

    + Effects: MIRINAE's convective circulation remains strong as it moves closer to the Coast of Northern Bicol Region and Eastern Luzon. The EYE remains cloud-filled w/ inner rainbands now beginning to spread over Catanduanes...where stormy conditions not exceeding 100 kph can be expected. Its outer rainbands continues to spread across the whole Bicol Region...deteriorating across Camarines Provinces as the typhoon approaches...Strong winds not exceeding 60 kph can be expected along the outer bands. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 10 up to 100 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of 250 mm (heavy to very heavy rain) near the center of Mirinae. Click here to view the latest NOAA's eTRaP graphic on the storm's rainfall amount. People living around the slopes of Mayon Volcano in Albay & of Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon - especially along the areas where possible MUDFLOWS (LAHAR) FLOWS (mixture of volcanic mud and water) are located must stay alert as moderate to heavy rains associated by this system are likely to affect the area beginning tomorrow. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of 6 to 8 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Bicol Region and Eastern Luzon. Moderate damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Eastern & Northern Visayas.

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

  • JTWC (US NAVY / AIR FORCE) 12, 24, 48 & 72 HR. FORECAST & REMARKS:

    8 PM (12 GMT) 30 OCTOBER: 14.7N 122.9E / 165-205 KPH (TY-Cat 2) / W @ 24 KPH
  • 8 AM (00 GMT) 31 OCTOBER: 14.9N 120.2E / 130-160 KPH (TY-Cat 1) / W @ 24 KPH - LANDFALL

    8 AM (00 GMT) 02 NOVEMBER: 14.1N 109.5E / 100-130 KPH (TS) / W @ 24 KPH

    REMARKS: 8 AM (00 GMT) FRI 30 OCTOBER POSITION: 15.1N 125.9E.
    *TYPHOON MIRINAE HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 17 KNOTS
    OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND SUSTAINED AN INTENSITY OF 90 KNOTS.
    THOUGH THE CYCLONE STILL HAS SOME WESTWARD BLOWING CONVECTION,
    INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, A SMALL
    ANTICYCLONE ALOFT HAS ENABLED CONTINUED RADIAL OUTFLOW. WHILE
    MIRINAE WAS PREVIOUSLY MAINTAINING A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST PATTERN
    THAT MADE POSITIONING USING INFRARED AND VISIBLE IMAGERY DIFFICULT,
    IT HAS RECENTLY STARTED TO DEVELOP MORE OF A BANDING EYE FEATURE.
    THEREFORE, IN COMBINATION WITH THE 292259Z 37 GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE
    IMAGE, THE CURRENT POSITION IS PLACED WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE.
    SIMILARLY, THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON CONSISTENT DVORAK
    ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, RJTD AND KNES OF 90 KNOTS...
