3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NESAT (PEDRING) is expected to maintain its general WNW track troughout the forecast period with little change on its forward speed. On the forecast track, the core of the typhoon will pass more or less 250 km to the north of Bicol Region tonight...and make landfall over Northern Aurora or just north of Casiguran by early Tuesday morning. NESAT will then cross the southern part of Northern Luzon - passing along Northern Quirino-Southern Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Benguet-Ifugao...and exit through La Union late Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday through Thursday, NESAT will be over the West Philippine Sea, leaving the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as it moves towards Hainan Island, Southern China.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) remain near 150 km/hr (80 knots) with higher gusts. NESAT is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Some slight strengthening is still likely before it makes landfall over Northern Aurora. This system will gradually weaken just below typhoon strength as it traverses Luzon Tuesday...and will regain typhoon status upon moving back to sea by Wednesday.

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 240 kilometers (130 nautical miles). NESAT is now a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 905 kilometers (490 nautical miles). Meanwhile, land obsevation from the Typhoon2000.com Automated Weather Station in Naga City has been observing wind gust of 40 kph blowing from the WSW and barometer readings of 998.0 millibars. The 24-hr Rainfall Accumulation over the station is now at 205.5 mm, with average rain rate of 3 to 30 mm/hr (very light to moderate).

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

TUESDAY EVENING:  Downgraded to a Tropical Storm (TS), after crossing the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon...just along the coast of La Union...about 115 km WSW of San Fernando, La Union [8PM SEP 27: 17.2N 119.4E @ 110kph].
WEDNESDAY EVENING:  Regains Typhoon status as it moves across the West Philippine Sea, moving out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)...about 560 km WNW of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte [8PM SEP 28: 18.4N 115.3E @ 130kph].
THURSDAY EVENING:  Gaining strength slightly as it approaches the northern part of Hainan Island, along the coast of Southern China...about 138 km ESE of Qionghai, Hainan [8PM SEP 29: 19.4 111.8E @ 140kph].


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

AURORA:  About 31 km NE of Casiguran...[ETA: 4:00-5:00 AM Local Time, Today].

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.
