FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 2 days)* NANMADOL's (MINA) CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH (CPA)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)* EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY
NANMADOL (MINA) is expected to turn NW to NNW slowly during the next 24 hours, before taking a more Northerly track between 36 to 48 hours. Its intensity may re-intensify a little bit as it enters the warm waters of the Balintang Channel. On the forecast track, the core of the typhoon will exit Northern Cagayan later this morning...and traverse the eastern portion of the Balintang Channel, passing to the west of Batanes tomorrow afternoon (Sunday). NANMADOL shall be near the east coast of Southern Taiwan early Monday morning. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
THIS AFTERNOON (SAT): Moving into Northern coast of Cagayan...about 31 km NE of Aparri [2PM AUG 27: 18.6N 121.9E @ 220kph]. TOMORROW EARLY MORNING (SUN): Maintains its Category 4 strength as it traverses the Balintang Channel...approaching the Batanes Group...about 100 km SW of Basco [2AM AUG 28: 19.8N 121.4E @ 220kph]. TOMORROW AFTERNOON (SUN): Weakens slightly as it turns Northward across the Bashi Channel...about 84 km WNW of Basco [2PM AUG 28: 20.6N 121.2E @ 215kph]. MONDAY EARLY MORNING: Weakens to Category 3...passing near the southern coast of Taiwan...about 121 km SE of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan [2AM AUG 29: 21.9N 121.2E @ 205kph]. NORTHERN CAGAYAN: Traversing the area...[ETA: Ongoing until 2:00 PM Local Time, Today]. BATANES GROUP OF ISLANDS: Just west of Basco [ETA: between 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Local Time, Sunday, Aug 28].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 220 km/hr (120 knots) with higher gusts. NANMADOL is a Category 4 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Some fluctuations in its strength can be expected. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 95 kilometers (50 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 220 kilometers (120 nautical miles). NANMADOL is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 740 kilometers (400 nautical miles) across.

NANMADOL's (MINA) circulation has weakened considerably from 250 kph to just 220 kph. The core is just along the eastern shores of Northern Cagayan with its eye filling in. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CLOUD-FILLED EYE - along the east coast of Northern Cagayan 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 portions of Northern Cagayan. 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 the rest of Cagayan, Isabela, Kalinga, & Apayao. 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 & Central 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 300 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 320 to 500 mm (high to very high) along areas near the center (eyewall) of NANMADOL (MINA). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic). COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible >18 ft [>5.5 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Isabela, Cagayan, Calayan Is., Ilocos Norte, Balintang Channel & the Batanes Group of Islands. Catastrophic 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 Extreme Northern Luzon. (click here to know more about Storm Surge).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SAT 27 AUGUST POSITION: 18.0N 122.7E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS THAT ALTHOUGH LAND INTERACTION WITH LUZON IS ERODING THE
WESTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS A 17 NM EYE
WITH NO INDICATIONS OF FILLING. A 261755Z AMSRE IMAGE REVEALS THAT
TY 14W MAINTAINS A THICK, CONCENTRIC EYEWALL. AGENCY DVORAK
INTENSITY ASSESSMENTS ALSO REMAIN HIGH. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS DUAL OUTFLOW CHANNELS, WITH THE POLEWARD CHANNEL VENTING INTO
A TUTT CELL NORTHEAST OF TAIWAN. TY 14W IS BEING NUDGED POLEWARD BY
WEAK ANTICYCLONE EMBEDDED IN THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. THE
ANTICYCLONE EXISTS AT THE WESTERN END OF THE RIDGE. TY 14W HAS
PEAKED IN INTENSITY AND WILL BEGIN AN OVERALL DOWNTREND. IN THE
SHORT TERM, HOWEVER, THE HIGHLY FAVORABLE OUTFLOW CONDITIONS WILL
ALLOW FOR SOME MILD RE-INTENSIFICATION AS THE SYSTEM CLEARS LUZON.
BY TAU 48, IMPEDIMENTS DUE TO LAND INTERACTION WITH TAIWAN AND A
POSSIBLE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE WILL BRING ABOUT A STEADY
WEAKENING TREND. IN THE MID TO LONG RANGE, THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE
IS EXPECTED TO BUILD AND THRUST OVER THE SOUTHERN RYUKUS, KEEPING
THE SYSTEM ON A POLEWARD TRACK. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST IS CLOSE TO
CONSENSUS AND THE JGSM MODEL...(more info)
