    + Forecast Outlook: DIANMU is expected to continue tracking Northward and intensify further within the next 12 to 24 hours. It will reach its peak intensity of 85 kph by tomorrow afternoon - while moving into the warmer waters of the East China Sea [2PM AUG 10: 31.0N 125.2E @ 85kph]. The 2 to 4-Day Long-Range Forecast Track shows the system weakening while passing very close to the west of Cheju Island by early Wednesday morning [2AM AUG 11: 32.9N 125.6E @ 85kph]. DIANMU shall make landfall and cross South Korea by Wednesday afternoon, passing very close to Taegu City. It shall then move out into the Sea of Japan around Thursday and become an Extratropical Cyclone (ET) by Friday [2AM AUG 13: 38.6N 136.3E @ 65kph]. 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: DIANMU's circulation particularly its inner bands is currently affecting the Yaeyama and Okinawa-Ryukyu Island Chains. Intense rain and wind convection remains to the South & SE quadrants of the tropical storm. Strong winds of up to 60 kph can be expected along these island chains. Click here to view the latest NOAA-CIRA's Wind Analysis. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 100 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 200 mm (heavy) situated south of DIANMU's center. Click here to view the latest NOAA's eTRaP graphic on the storm's rainfall amount. 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.

    + Current SW Monsoon Intensity: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with passing light to moderate to sometimes heavy rains can be expected along the following affected areas: NORTHERN & WESTERN LUZON including portions of METRO MANILA, LUBANG ISLAND & CALAMIAN GROUP OF ISLANDS. Moderate to strong SW winds (not in excess of 45 kph) can be expected along these areas. Large ocean waves of 7 to 8 feet along the beach-front areas of the affected areas are likely to occur today. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.

    + Tropical Cyclone Watch:

    A new, developing Tropical Disturbance 99W (LPA/1010 MB) was detected just south of the Pacific island of Yap, and has been tracking Westward @ 20 kph. Located near lat 8.5N lon 138.0E...or about 1,275 km East of Mindanao, Philippines...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 30 kph near the center. This system has a 40% chance of becoming a Tropical Cyclone w/in the next 24 to 48 hours.

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

    *RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
    IMAGERY AND A 081742Z AMSRE 36 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT A
    PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH INCREASED LOW
    LEVEL BANDING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM AND
    CONTINUED DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN QUADRANTS.
    THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30
    TO 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD. A 081225Z ASCAT PASS REVEALS
    30 TO 35 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE EASTERN HALF OF THE SYSTEM AND 20 TO
    30 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN QUADRANTS. UPPER LEVEL
    ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING GOOD EQUATORWARD
    OUTFLOW AND INCREASED DIFFLUENCE ALOFT ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN
    PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN
    PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE SUPPRESSED BY AN UPPER LEVEL
    TROUGH. TS 05W IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS IT CONTINUES
    TRACKING NORTHWARD OVER WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND THROUGH AN
    AREA OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH A
    PEAK INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS BETWEEN TAU 36 AND TAU 48. NEAR TAU 72
    THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY AS IT TRACKS OVER SOUTH
    KOREA AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. BY TAU 96 TS
    DIANMU IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. NUMERICAL
    MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ECMWF
    WHICH SHOWS THE SYSTEM RECURVING FASTER TO THE EAST. THIS FORECAST
    IS IN AGREEMENT WITH MODEL CONSENSUS...
