NANMADOL's (MINA) circulation continues to weaken due to land interaction. The weakened core is just along Mount Gonzaga in Northern Cagayan. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CLOUD-FILLED EYE - moving just to the NE of Santa Ana Town or in the vicinity of Escarpada Point. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). WESTERN EYEWALL - affecting & moving across Northeastern Cagayan...particularly along the towns of Santa Ana, Gonzaga, & Buguey.

*TYPHOON (TY) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 580 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT
03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THAT LAND INTERACTION WITH LUZON HAS CAUSED THE EYE TO
BECOME CLOUD-FILLED WHILE THE EYEWALL ALONG THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE
HAS ERODED. A 262219Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS THAT THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER IS JUST SEAWARD OF THE NORTHEASTERN TIP OF LUZON,
WITH THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STORM REMAINING WELL ORGANIZED WITH
ABUNDANT DEEP CONVECTION. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONFIRMS THE
POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL IS STILL OPEN OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
QUADRANT, AND OUTFLOW IN THE OTHER QUADRANTS REMAINS VIGOROUS. TY
14W IS BEING NUDGED TO THE NORTHWEST BY THE WESTWARD EXTENSION OF
THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE...(more info)
