Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 100 km/hr (55 knots) with higher gusts. MUIFA (KABAYAN) is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 130 kilometers (70 nautical miles) from the center. MUIFA is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 835 kilometers (450 nautical miles) across. TUESDAY EARLY MORNING: Starts to turn NNW toward Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands [2AM AUG 02: 21.3N 133.9E @ 165kph]. WEDNESDAY EARLY MORNING: Intensifying...starts turning more to the left of its track (NW) toward the Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands [2AM AUG 03: 23.9N 132.9E @ 175kph]. THURSDAY EARLY MORNING: Exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)...turns WNW-ward closer to the Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands [2AM AUG 04: 25.9N 131.2E @ 160kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.
EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Mostly cloudy skies with passing on-&-off showers, rains, squalls & thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: PALAWAN, CENTRAL & NORTHERN MINDANAO, VISAYAS & WESTERN LUZON including MINDORO & METRO MANILA. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.
MUIFA's (KABAYAN) circulation has become better organized w/ improving shear environment (light upper-level winds). A Central Dense Overcast (CDO) is present over the center. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - over water (off the Philippine Sea)...possible "Eye" forming underneath the cirrus canopy. Near-Typhoon Conditions w/ near-typhoon force winds (95-117 kph) will be expected along the CDO. (click here to know more about CDO). INNER RAINBANDS - over water (Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-94 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (Philippine Sea & Western Micronesia)...no longer affecting land areas. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 400 mm (very high) near the center of MUIFA (KABAYAN).

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!
JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SAT 30 JULY POSITION: 14.7N 134.0E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 780 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AIR BASE, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS CONVECTION SURGING AND CONSOLIDATING AROUND THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 291636Z AMSRE PASS SHOWS GOOD
ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING A MICROWAVE EYE, AS WELL AS DEEP CONVECTION
OVERALL SECTORS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE SUPPRESSION
OF OUTFLOW OVER THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE STORM HAS EASED, AND
OVER THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT, THE BEGINNINGS OF A POLEWARD OUTFLOW
CHANNEL INTO A TUTT CELL ARE EVIDENT. EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW IS WELL-
ESTABLISHED. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON A DVORAK ESTIMATE OF
55 KNOTS FROM PGTW. THE SYSTEM IS BEING STEERED IN A POLEWARD
PATTERN BY THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE, WHICH IS ANCHORED BY AN
ANTICYCLONE NEAR 11N 150E. THE NORTHWARD MOVEMENT IS TOWARDS A VAST
WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE SEASONAL ANTICYCLONE OVER EASTERN CHINA AND THE
BONIN HIGH, WHICH HAS SHIFTED TOWARDS THE DATELINE. THE POLEWARD
TRACK AND THE EXTENSIVE INTERACTION WITH THE TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH ARE RESULTING IN GREATER UNCERTAINTY IN MODEL
GUIDANCE. ALL GUIDANCE AGREES ON A WESTWARD BEND IN THE TRACK AFTER
TAU 48, BUT WHERE AND TO WHAT DEGREE THAT TURN OCCURS IS A MATTER OF
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. AFTER TAU 48, THE DISPARITY IS BOTH
SUBSTANTIAL AND IMPACTIVE. ECMWF AND EGRR STEER THE STORM WESTWARD
SOONER, RESULTING IN A TRACK SOUTH OF OKINAWA. MEANWHILE, GFS,
NOGAPS, GFDN, AND WBAR GUIDE THE SYSTEM NORTHEAST FOR THE NEXT 48
HOURS, WITH A RESULTANT TRACK THAT GOES WELL NORTH OF OKINAWA. JGSM
AND CONSENSUS ARE IN THE MIDDLE. THE INTENSITY TREND WILL BE A
MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT THE STORM CAN MAINTAIN A CIRCULATION OVER
THE TOP OF THE LLCC AS IT TRACKS NORTHWARD AND COCOON ITSELF FROM
THE EFFECTS OF INCREASING SHEAR. GFDN IS INDICATING RAPID
INTENSIFICATION, WHILE MOST OTHER GUIDANCE POINTS TO A NEAR-
CLIMATOLOGICAL INTENSIFICATION RATE. BASED ON THE RAPID ORGANIZATION
AND PRONOUNCED COOLING OF THE CLOUD TOPS SHOWN ON RECENT INFRARED
ANIMATION, THE JTWC FORECAST STAYS ABOVE THE MAJORITY OF GUIDANCE,
CLOSE TO GFDN...(more info)
