  • Typhoon PARMA (PEPENG) has accelerated NW and is now approaching the coast of Northern Isabela...landfall over Cagayan expected this afternoon.

    *Residents and visitors along Extreme Northern Luzon & Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of PARMA.

    *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: PARMA is expected to continue moving NW for the next 24 hours, making landfall over Northern Cagayan approx 3 PM this afternoon and shall over Aparri around midnight tonight. The core shall exit via the northern coast of Ilcos Norte early tomorrow morning and shall remain quasi-stationary on that area for the next 24 hours (Oct 4-5).The 3 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows the system starting to recurve NE slowly and pass over Batanes Group early Wednesday morning Oct 7 and accelerate towards Ryukyu Islands-Okinawa Area, following the larger Typhoon MELOR. Please be aware that long-range forecast changes every now and then. Continued monitoring on this potential typhoon is a must for disaster preparedness agencies.

    + Effects: PARMA's main circulation has shrunked a little and became slightly weaker...The core is now approaching the coast of Northern Isabela and Cagayan...its inner (rain) bands now along the coast of Isabela, Aurora and Cagayan. Typhoon conditions can expected today as the typhoon starts making landfall. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along PARMA's rainbands...with isolated accumulations of up to 400 mm (very heavy rain) near the center of PARMA. 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 9 to 12 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Extreme Northern Luzon. Extensive damage is likely on this type of storm surge.

    + Tropical Cyclone Watch:

    (1) Typhoon MELOR (20W) moving very slowly and threatens the Northern Marianas.

    REMARKS: 2 AM (18 GMT) 03 OCTOBER POSITION: 16.6N 123.8E.
    *INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS STARTING TO BECOME AFFECTED BY
    INTERACTION WITH LAND AS DEEP CONVECTION WANES IN THE BANDING TO THE
    SOUTHWEST OF THE CENTER. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY APPROACHING LUZON,
    AND IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL AROUND TAU 12 AND MOVE BACK OVER
    WATER BY TAU 24. AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST ERODES
    DURING THE PASSAGE OF A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH, TY 19W WILL MOVE INTO A
    PROGRESSIVELY WEAKER STEERING ENVIRONMENT. THE SYSTEM WILL START TO
    BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY AFTER TAU 24, AND WILL MOVE ERRATICALLY IN
    THE STRAIT OF LUZON THROUGH TAU 48. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF
    UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST AFTER TAU 48. THE SYSTEM WILL STILL BE
    IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AT THIS TIME, AND A NUMBER OF
    INFLUENCES COULD BECOME THE PREDOMINATE STEERING FLOW. THE MOST
    LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR THE STR TO THE EAST TO BUILD FOLLOWING THE
    PASSAGE OF TY 20W (MELOR) AND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR WILL
    PICK UP 19W AND SLOWLY BRING IT EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AFTER TAU 72;
    THIS IS FAVORED BY GFS AND GFDN. ANOTHER SCENARIO IS FOR THE STR TO
    THE WEST, LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN CHINA, TO BUILD TO THE EAST. THIS
    WOULD PICK UP 19W AND SLOWLY TRACK IT WESTWARD INTO THE SOUTH CHINA
    SEA AFTER TAU 48; THIS SCENARIO IS FAVORED BY JGSM. THE FINAL
    POSSIBLE SCENARIO IS FOR TY 20W TO APPROACH CLOSE ENOUGH TO 19W TO
    INITIATE A BINARY INTERACTION THAT WOULD CAUSE 19W TO TRACK SLIGHTLY
    SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE EVENTUALLY TRACKING TO THE NORTHEAST AROUND THE
    WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR. THIS SCENARIO IS FAVORED BY ECMWF AND
    NOGAPS. DUE TO THE FORECAST DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS BEING TOO
    GREAT FOR INTERACTION, THIS FORECAST FAVORS THE SYSTEM TRACKING TO
    THE NORTHEAST ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR TO THE
    EAST AFTER TAU 72...
