    + Forecast Outlook: CONSON (BASYANG) is expected to continue to track slightly Westward and will pass over the Metropolis in just a few hours (2-3 AM). The center will continue moving across the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga & Zambales and will be over the South China Sea this morning [8AM JUL 14: 15.2N 119.9E]. The 3 to 5-Day Long-Range Forecast shows the system making its final landfall on Saturday morning along Southern China or just west of Macau. 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 & Hazards: CONSON's (BASYANG) dissipating eyewall is now passing over Northern Quezon and into Metro Manila. High winds w/ moderate to heavy rainfall can be expected this early morning. Meanwhile, its inner and outer bands will continue to spread across Southern Tagalog Provinces and portions of Central Luzon. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 150 mm (light, moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 250 mm (very heavy) near the center of CONSON. 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 late today until early 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 1 to 4 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Southern Tagalog Provinces, Northern Quezon, and Manila Bay. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge.

    [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) REMARKS:

  • REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 PM (12 GMT) TUE 13 JULY POSITION: 14.5N 122.2E.
    *ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SLIGHT
    WEAKENING DUE TO LAND INTERACTION AND MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY
    VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). HOWEVER, A 130455Z AMSR-E 36 GHZ IMAGE
    SHOWS A SMALL SYSTEM WITH TIGHTLY CURVED BANDING WITH A SMALL
    MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. THIS SIGNATURE ALONG WITH DVORAK ESTIMATES
    RANGING FROM 45 TO 77 KNOTS SUPPORT THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 65
    KNOTS. THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION AND MOTION
    BASED ON THE AMSR-E IMAGE. TY 03W CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD TOWARD
    MANILA UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A STRONG MID-LEVEL
    SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) POSITIONED NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. UPPER AIR
    DATA FROM LAOAG (98223) AND XISHA DAO (59981) INDICATE STRONG UPPER-
    LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW AT 45-70 KNOTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN SOUTH CHINA
    SEA. THEREFORE, TY 03W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD
    ACROSS SOUTHERN LUZON BUT SHOULD TURN WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TO
    NORTHWESTWARD AS IT APPROACHES THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
    STR. THE MAJORITY OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THIS TRACK WITH THE
    EXCEPTION OF THE GFS, WHICH DEPICTS AN ERRONEOUS NORTHWARD TRACK
    TOWARD TAIWAN. TY 03W IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLOWLY THROUGHOUT THE
    FORECAST PERIOD (BUT SHOULD MAINTAIN MODERATE TROPICAL STORM
    STRENGTH OVER THE WARM WATER) DUE TO THE MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT
    CHARACTERIZED BY STRONG NORTHERLY VWS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STR
    ENTRENCHED OVER SOUTHERN CHINA. TY 03W WILL MAKE LANDFALL SOUTHWEST
    OF HONG KONG NEAR TAU 72 AND WILL DISSIPATE OVER LAND AFTER TAU 96....
