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.
NANMADOL's (MINA) circulation is having a hard time to reintensify after it interacting with the mountains of Northern Cagayan. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CLOUD-FILLED EYE - Just west of the Batanes Group. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). EYEWALL - affecting & moving across Batanes & Babuyan Group of Islands. Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Ilocos Norte, Calayan Island, Apayao & Northern Cagayan. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across the rest of Northern Luzon. 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 areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 210 to 280 mm (high) along areas near the center (eyewall) of NANMADOL (MINA). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic). COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 9-12 ft [2.7-3.9 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Northern Cagayan, Calayan-Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Balintang & Bashi Channels, the Batanes Group of Islands, & Southern Taiwan. Extensive damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Bicol Region, Quezon Provinces, & the rest of Luzon. (click here to know more about Storm Surge).
CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with passing occasional rains, squalls or thunderstorms will continue to prevail across the following affected areas: NW VISAYAS, PALAWAN, MINDORO, ROMBLON, BORACAY, WESTERN & SOUTHERN LUZON incl. METRO MANILA, MARINDUQUE, & BICOL REGION. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 55 kph) will blow across the abovementioned areas.

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SUN 28 AUGUST POSITION: 19.7N 121.3E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 540 NM SOUTHWEST
OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. LAND INTERACTION WITH LUZON BROUGHT ON
SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING OF THE SYSTEM. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS CLOUD TOPS WARMING AND THE EYE FILLING DURING THE PAST
SIX HOURS. THE MOST RECENT IMAGERY, HOWEVER, INDICATES THAT THE
PROCESS HAS REVERSED AND THE SYSTEM IS NOW CONSOLIDATING AND RE-
INTENSIFYING OVER THE LUZON STRAIT. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE
NEARLY IDEAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, WITH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
OF 31 TO 32 DEGREES AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BELOW 05 KNOTS. A
271742Z AMSRE IMAGE CONFIRMS THAT THE EYEWALL WAS NEARLY INTACT AS
THE SYSTEM TRACKED OVER THE BUBAYAN ISLANDS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL HAS CUT OFF, BUT
OTHERWISE OUTFLOW REMAINS GOOD IN ALL QUADRANTS. RADAR LOOPS FROM
SOUTHERN TAIWAN REVEAL THE OUTERMOST RAINBANDS ARE REACHING THE
SOUTHERN COAST, AND RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH ON-SHORE FLOW IS NOW
BLANKETING THE ENTIRE EAST COAST OF TAIWAN. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF
100 KNOTS IS BASED ON A PGTW DVORAK ANALYSIS. TY 14W IS TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR). THE 27/12Z 500 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS THE RIDGE EXTENDING OVER
KYUSHU AND INTO THE EAST CHINA SEA. TY 14W WILL TRACK POLEWARD ALONG
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR RE-INTENSIFICATION DURING THE ROUGHLY 24 HOUR PERIOD
IN WHICH THE STORM CLEARS THE CORROSIVE EFFECTS OF LAND INTERACTION
WITH LUZON AND ENCOUNTERS THE SAME IMPEDIMENTS DURING THE APPROACH
TO TAIWAN. RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL CHINA WILL WEAKEN AND PROPAGATE
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE EAST SEA AND THE STR WILL REBUILD OVER
EASTERN CHINA, STEERING TY 14W WESTWARD AFTER IT BEACHES ON THE
SHORES OF SOUTHWEST TAIWAN...(more info)
