Typhoon NANMADOL (MINA) nearing Category 2 status as it maintains its slow WNW motion...threat to Isabela-Cagayan-Batanes Area increases. Its western outer rainbands spreading across the Eastern & Northern Luzon.
This weekend, Typhoon NANMADOL is likely to interact (Fujiwhara Effect) with TS TALAS (15W) located to the NNW of Guam. If this scenario happens, it will continue to induce or pull the Southwest Monsoonal Flow across the Philippines, bringing scattered to occasional rains, squalls w/ thunderstorms across the western sections of Luzon & Visayas.
Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon, Taiwan, Okinawa & Southern Japan should closely monitor the progress of NANMADOL (MINA).

FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 2 days)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)*
NANMADOL (MINA) is expected to turn NNW within the next 24 hours before heading North slowly across the North Philippine Sea. This system will continue to strengthen within the next 2 days due to excellent atmospheric conditions aloft. NANMADOL may likely reach Category 3 status by Friday & Category 4 on Saturday. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
TOMORROW EARLY MORNING (FRI): Strengthens to Category 2 as it moves NNW slowly, well to the east of Eastern Isabela...about 235 km East of Palanan Bay [2AM AUG 26: 17.1N 124.7E @ 165kph]. TOMORROW AFTERNOON (FRI): Becomes a Major Typhoon (Category 3) as it maintains its slow NNW track, passing well to the east of Northern Cagayan...about 278 km ESE of Aparri, Cagayan [2PM AUG 26: 18.0N 124.3E @ 195kph]. SATURDAY EARLY MORNING: Strengthens to Category 4 as it turn Northward...about 273 km East of Calayan Island, Cagayan [2AM AUG 27: 19.1N 124.1E @ 215kph]. SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Continues to move North slowly while reaching its peak intensity...about 229 km ESE of Basco, Batanes [2PM AUG 27: 19.9N 124.1E @ 220kph].
**Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): There is a possibility that NANMADOL (MINA) will continue moving WNW to NW-ward and pass very close to the NE coast of Cagayan on Friday evening or Saturday...making a close pass-by east of Batanes on Saturday evening or Sunday. This scenario may happen if the small High Pressure Steering Ridge north of the typhoon will not weaken.
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 150 km/hr (80 knots) with higher gusts. NANMADOL is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Continued strengthening will continue througout the forecast...and will likely become a Category 2 typhoon later tonight. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 35 kilometers (20 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 165 kilometers (90 nautical miles). NANMADOL is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 555 kilometers (300 nautical miles) across. SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Starts losing strength but remains at Category 4...starts to recurve towards Okinawa Area [2PM AUG 28: 21.3N 124.3E @ 215kph]. MONDAY AFTERNOON: Downgraded to Category 3 while moving NNE...starts interacting with TS TALAS (15W) located outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) [2PM AUG 29: 22.4N 125.0E @ 205kph]. TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Continues losing strength but still at Category 3...moving NE slowly. Interaction with TS TALAS (15W) continues [2PM AUG 30: 23.8N 126.3E @ 195kph].
*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.

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) THU 25 AUGUST POSITION: 16.3N 125.1E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 630 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWEST-
WARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED A WELL-DEFINED
10-NM EYE AS IT BEGAN TO TRACK ON A MORE POLEWARD DIRECTION. THE
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ABOVE ANIMATION WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. THE INITIIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES
FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD, RANGING FROM 77 TO 90 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES TY 14W IS DIRECTLY BENEATH A RIDGE AXIS IN AN
AREA OF LOW (05-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO A TUTT CELL TO
THE NORTH NEAR TAIWAN AND GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ENHANCED BY THE
RIDGE. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF
A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ANCHORED OVER THE DATELINE
NORTH OF MIDWAY ISLAND. IT IS EXPECTED TO TURN MORE POLEWARD OVER
THE NEXT 72 HOURS, THEN NORHTEASTWARD, AS IT TRACES THE WESTERN
EXTENT OF THE STR. TY 14W WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AT A SLIGHTLY
HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE DUE TO THE HIGHLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS AHEAD - LOW VWS, WARMM SST'S, AND EXCELLENT OUTFLOW. THE
AVAILABLE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAN IN
PREVIOUS RUNS WITH EGRR AS THE SOLE LEFT OUTLIER. THIS TRACK
FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF CONSENSUS AT THE ONSET TO
OFFSET EGRR'S UNLIKELY WESTWARD DEVIATION, THEN A BIT MORE TO THE
RIGHT AFTER TAU 48 IN ANTICIPATION OF A POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH
A LARGE INTENSIFYING CYCLONE TO THE EAST...(more info)
