3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NALGAE (QUIEL) will continue to move generally westward (known in meteorology as a "Straight-Runner") throughout the forecast period...with a decrease in its forward speed. On the forecast track, the small core of the typhoon will make landfall along Cagayan-Isabela Border on or before noontime Saturday...and cross Northern Luzon in the afternoon through the early evening. NALGAE will move out of Northern Luzon via Ilocos Sur Sunday evening...and will be over the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) Sunday morning. By early Monday, NALGAE will move out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), on its way to Hainan Island, Southern China.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 175 km/hr (95 knots) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 12 to 18 hours, before making landfall over Northern Luzon...and NALGAE could become a Category 3 Typhoon tonight or early Saturday. This cyclone is now a Category 2 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 65 kilometers (35 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 220 kilometers (120 nautical miles). NALGAE is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 610 kilometers (330 nautical miles).
