3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

On the forecast track, the core of the typhoon will exit Northern Luzon via La Union-Ilocos Sur Area, and emerge over the West Philippine Sea later this afternoon. During the next 2 to 3 days, NESAT will be over the West Philippine/South China Sea, leaving the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) Wednesday...and making landfall over Hainan Island on Friday.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have decreased to near 140 km/hr (75 knots) with higher gusts. NESAT is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. It will re-intensify once again while moving into the West Philippine Sea/South China Sea.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 45 kilometers (25 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 150 kilometers (80 nautical miles). NESAT is a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 905 kilometers (490 nautical miles).
