3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NESAT (PEDRING) is expected to continue moving on a straight-Westerly motion during the next 12 hours...then turning WNW-ward with some decrease in forward speed is likely within the forecast period. On the forecast track, the center of the typhoon will be approaching the east coast of Northern Aurora & Isabela Monday night...and making landfall NNE of the the town of Casiguran by Tuesday morning. NESAT will then traverse Northern Luzon, cutting across Southern Isabela, Cordilleras Tuesday afternoon...and exit the area through Ilocos Sur by early Wednesday.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 120 km/hr (65 knots) with higher gusts. NESAT is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Gradual strengthening will continue during the next couple of days...and NESAT could become a Category 4 Typhoon before it makes landfall Tuesday.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 20 kilometers (10 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 150 kilometers (80 nautical miles). NESAT remains an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 555 kilometers (300 nautical miles). Possible continued increase in its circulation size is likely as the system moves into the warm Philippine Sea in the next couple of days.

The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:

MONDAY MORNING:  Turns WNW while passing well to the NE of Bicol Region...upgraded to a Category 3 Typhoon...about 244 km NE of Pandan, Catanduanes, PH [8AM SEP 26: 15.3N 126.1 @ 195kph].
TUESDAY MORNING:  Making landfall along Northern Aurora-Isabela Area...almost a Super Typhoon (Category 4)...about 62 km NE of Casiguran, Aurora, PH [8AM SEP 27: 16.6N 122.5E @ 230kph].
WEDNESDAY MORNING:  Weakens to a Category 2 typhoon after crossing Northern Luzon...in the vicinity of the West Philippine Sea (aka. South China Sea)...about 212 km East of Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, PH [8AM SEP 28: 17.6 118.4E @ 165kph].

**Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): There is a possibility that NESAT (PEDRING) will continue moving Westward and make landfall over Aurora Province instead...cutting across the Northern Part of Central Luzon...and exiting along the Benguet-La Union Area. This scenario may happen if the High Pressure Steering Ridge northeast of the typhoon will not weaken & extends westward.


NESAT's (PEDRING) CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH (CPA)*

NORTHERN AURORA:  Just to the NNE of Casiguran...[ETA: 8:00-9:00 AM Local Time, Tuesday].
SOUTHERN ISABELA:  Passing very close to the south Cauayan City [ETA: 12:00-1:00 PM Tuesday].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...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.
