Tropical Storm NANMADOL (MINA) nears typhoon classification as it moves in a very-slow, erratic motion over the Philippine Sea, hundreds of kilometers to the east of Aurora...will likely become a Typhoon later tonight or tomorrow.
This weekend, TS NANMADOL is expected to have an interaction (Fujiwhara Effect) with the developing cyclone (97W) located to the NW of Guam. If this scenario happens, effects to the Philippines will be minimal. It will just induce or pull the Southwest Monsoonal Flow, bringing scattered to occasional rains, squalls w/ thunderstorms across the western sections of Luzon & Visayas.
Residents and visitors along Extreme Northern Luzon, Taiwan, Okinawa & Southern Japan should closely monitor the progress of NANMADOL (MINA).

FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 2 days)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (5 days)*
NANMADOL (MINA) is expected to resume moving slowly towards the North, across the open waters of the Philippine Sea without directly affecting any land areas. This system will continue to gain strength within the next 2 days, reaching typhoon strength tomorrow. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system.

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 TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with occasional showers, rains, squalls or thunderstorms will continue to prevail across the following affected areas: THE VISAYAS, PALAWAN, MINDORO, ROMBLON, BORACAY, WESTERN MINDANAO, & BICOL REGION. Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow across the abovementioned areas.
NANMADOL's (MINA) circulation continues to exhibit an excellent system with convective rainbands on all quadrants. A possible eye maybe forming beneath its Central Dense Overcast (CDO). Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - over water (Philippine Sea)...possible "Eye" forming underneath the cirrus canopy. Near-Typhoon Conditions w/ Near-Typhoon Force Winds (100-130 kph) will be expected along the CDO. (click here to know more about CDO). INNER RAINBANDS - over water (Philippine Sea)...not affecting any islands or land areas . Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-99 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (Philippine Sea)...However, its western & southwesternmost outer rainbands continues to spread & affecting the coastal areas of Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Northern Quezon & the Bicol Region. 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 300 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of up to 510 mm (very high) along areas near the center of NANMADOL (MINA). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
Tropical Disturbance 97W (LPA) still consolidating, west of Northern Marianas and is likely to become a Tropical Depression later tonight or tomorrow. The system was located about 455 km NNW of Guam, CNMI (16.7N 141.3E)...maximum sustained winds of 35 kph...quasi-stationary. The 24-hour TC Formation Potential remains HIGH (90%).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) WED 24 AUGUST POSITION: 16.3N 126.7E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 605 NM
SOUTH OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TS 14W HAS CONSOLIDATED OVER THE PAST 06
HOURS WITH IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING AND A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST
FEATURE DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTER. CONSEQUENTLY, RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY TO INCLUDE A 240500Z AMSR-E IMAGE DEPICT A MICROWAVE EYE
FEATURE. BASED ON THE WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER,
THERE IS INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN THE POSITION AND RECENT MOTION.
ADDITIONALLY, THE 24/00Z WARNING POSITION WAS REPOSITIONED WEST
ABOUT 55 NM WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS ASSESSED
AT 55 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS FROM ALL AGENCIES.
THE SYSTEM REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND
HAS CONTINUED TO TRACK ERRATICALLY AND SLOWLY. THIS IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. AFTER TAU 96, TS 14W WILL
BEGIN TO INTERACT (FUJIWARA) WITH ANOTHER DEVELOPING SYSTEM (CURRENT
TCFA SYSTEM) EXPECTED TO TRACK TOWARD WESTERN JAPAN. THIS WILL
INDUCE A TURN NORTHEASTWARD. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS REMAINED POOR AND
HAS ALSO FLUCTUATED FROM RUN-TO-RUN WITH A LARGE SPREAD
(APPROXIMATELY 550NM AT TAU 120) IN SOLUTIONS...(more info)
>> NANMADOL, meaning: A famous Pohnpei ruin; the "Venice of the Pacific".
