TYPHOON MIRINAE [SANTI/23W/0921]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 009

View: Advisory Archives (2004-2009)

  • Typhoon MIRINAE (SANTI) still on a slightly fast westerly track towards Luzon...expected to make landfall somewhere between Aurora and Northern Quezon...Full preparations must be implemented at this time.

    *Residents and visitors along the eastern coast of Luzon (from Batanes down to Bicol Peninsula) 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: MIRINAE's forecast outlook has changed slightly to the south...expected to continue tracking on a straight Westward track within the next 24 hours. The 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows the system approaching the eastern coast of Luzon on Friday evening, Oct 30, passing more or less 250 km. North of Bicol Region. The core shall make landfall over Casiguran, Aurora early Saturday morning Oct 31 and cross Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Benguet, Northern Pangasinan, La Union and exit thru Lingayen Gulf-Cape Bolinao Area in Northern Pangasinan. MIRINAE will be in the middle of the South China Sea on Monday, November 02...and will be downgraded into a Tropical Storm as it approaches Central Vietnam on November 02. MIRINAE shall dissipate after making its final landfall over Vietnam on November 03. *Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): The latest ECMWF Extended Forecast issued at 8PM last night (Oct 28), showed the system making landfall over Northern Quezon, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Zambales beginning Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning (Oct 31-Nov 01). This AFS track may happen if the High Pressure Steering Ridge off SE China and Taiwan strengthens more and pushes MIRINAE more Southwestward. This scenario remains weak at this time. 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 compact circulation has slightly expanded as it moves over a slightly warm Philippine Sea. Its EYE remains cloud-filled. The rainbands of this typhoon remains at sea and not yet affecting any major islands. The initial effects of the outer rainbands of MIRINAE over Eastern Luzon can be expected beginning Friday morning, Oct 30. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 2 to 80 mm (moderate rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated amounts of 200 mm (heavy to very heavy rain) near the center of Mirinae.

    REMARKS: 2 AM (18 GMT) THU 29 OCTOBER POSITION: 16.3N 133.7E.
    *RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS EVIDENCE OF EASTERLY VERTICAL
    WIND SHEAR THAT HAS CAUSED MIRINAE TO LOSE ITS EYE-LIKE FEATURE OVER
    THE LAST 12 HOURS. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM STILL HAS GOOD POLEWARD
    OUTFLOW INTO THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES AS WELL AS ACCESS TO
    POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO THE TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT)
    LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 DEGREES EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE
    OUTFLOW HAS ENABLED MIRINAE TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY AND SHOULD HELP
    THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY BY ANOTHER 10 KNOTS OVER THE NEXT DAY. OVER
    THE NEXT FIVE DAYS MIRINAE IS STILL EXPECTED TO TRACK WESTWARD ALONG
    THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE CURRENT POSITION IS
    BASED, WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE, ON METSAT IMAGERY AND THE CURRENT
    INTENSITY IS AN AVERAGE OF DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW (77 KNOTS),
    RJTD (90 KNOTS) AND KNES (90 KNOTS)...
