    + Forecast Outlook: CONSON (BASYANG) is expected to pass about 50 to 100 km. north of Catanduanes this morning and will be about 130 km. North of Naga City around 2-4 PM [2PM JUL 13: 14.6N 123.8E]. CONSON shall make landfall somewhere between Baler, Aurora and Infanta, Quezon around 2 AM tomorrow [2 AM JUL 14: 15.3N 121.5E] and cross Central and Northern Luzon tomorrow morning passing over the provinces of Nueva Ecija-Tarlac-Pampanga-Zambales. It will then move out into the South China Sea or off the coast of Zambales tomorrow afternoon [2PM JUL 14: 16.0N 119.5E]. The 3 to 5-Day Long-Range Forecast shows the system downgraded into a Tropical Storm as it turns more to the NW to NNW by Thursday while over the South China Sea [2AM JUL 15: 17.2N 117.4E]. CONSON shall make its second landfall early Saturday morning along Southern China or just west of Hong Kong [2AM JUL 17: 21.9N 113.7E]. *Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): There is a possibility that CONSON will continue tracking Westward and pass less than 100 km. to the north of Naga this afternoon, and traverse Central Luzon via Infanta -- if the strong, steering High Pressure Ridge which extends east of Taiwan will not weaken. 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) outer rain bands now covering Samar and Bicol Provinces, while its Inner rain bands now spreading across Catanduanes, where strong winds of up to 100 kph can be expected. 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 200 mm (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 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Bicol Region, Polillo, Quezon & Aurora. 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!]

  • REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) MON 12 JULY POSITION: 14.2N 126.4E.

    *ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS CONVECTION ASSOCIATED
    WITH THE SYSTEM HAS DEEPENED AND EXPANDED. THE CURRENT POSITION IS
    EXTRAPOLATED FROM A 121656Z AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWING AN
    EYE-LIKE FEATURE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES
    FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD RANGING FROM T3.5 TO T4.5. UPPER LEVEL
    ANALYSIS INDICATES TY 03W IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
    A MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH IN AN AREA OF LOW VERTICAL
    WIND SHEAR (VWS) WITH DIFFLUENT FLOW AT 200 MB. IN ADDITION TO THE
    FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS, WARM OCEAN HEAT CONTENT (OHC)IN THE
    PHILIPPINE SEA WILL ENHANCE MODERATE INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 24
    HOURS BEFORE THE SYSTEM MAKES LANDFALL NEAR QUEZON, PHILIPPINES BY
    TAU 24. IT IS THEN EXPECTED TO SLIGHTLY WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS ACROSS
    CENTRAL LUZON AND EMERGE IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA BEFORE TAU 36. DUE TO
    RELATIVELY COOLER OHC AND INCREASING VWS, CONSON IS EXPECTED TO
    GRADUALLY WEAKEN TO A MINIMUM TROPICAL STORM BEFORE IT MAKES FINAL
    LANDFALL SOUTH OF HONG-KONG AFTER TAU 96. THE AVAILABLE NUMERIC
    GUIDANCE IS IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS TRACK FORECAST WITH
    GFS AS THE SOLE OUTLIER, BRINGING THE CYCLONE ABRUPTLY TO THE NORTH
    AFTER TAU 24....
