3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*
GAEMI (MARCE) is expected to drift south-southeast to south-southwest during the next 24 hours, turning West thereafter. On the forecast track, the center of Gaemi is expected to remain over the open waters of the West Philippine Sea, just west of Manila and will head toward Vietnam later on the forecast period.
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to 95 km/hr (50 knots) with higher gusts. Continued strengthening will be expected during the next 24 to 48 hours...and Gaemi could become a minimal Typhoon on Friday.
Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 110 kilometers (60 nautical miles) from the center. GAEMI is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 555 kilometers (300 nautical miles) across.
The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:
THURSDAY NOON: Moving very slowly south to south-southwestward across the West Philippine Sea...at near-Typhoon strength...about 258 km (W) closer to Subic Bay [12PM OCT 04: 14.7N 117.9E @ 110kph].
FRIDAY NOON: Starts to move faster westward...exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as it becomes a minimal Typhoon...about 570 km (WNW) away from Subic Bay [12PM OCT 05: 14.9N 115.0E @ 120kph].
SATURDAY NOON: Maintains its track and forward speed...approaching Vietnam...about 290 km (ESE) closer to Da Nang, Vietnam [12PM OCT 06: 15.1N 110.7E @ 120kph].
*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.
