Tropical Storm TRAMI (MARING) has changed its course towards the west-northwest threatening Yaeyama and Miyako Islands.
This storm will continue to induce the Southwest Monsoon (Hanging Habagat) - bringing cloudy and windy conditions with "on-and-off" slight to moderate to sometimes heavy rains across the western sections of Luzon and Visayas...becoming more frequent with moderate-to-heavy monsoon rains along Mindoro, the National Capital Region (Metro Manila), Zambales, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon and CaLaBaRZon tonight through Wednesday. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) has weakened further while moving across the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean. Latest dynamic forecast models continues to show the system moving generally northwestward for the next 2 days. Its center was located about 935 km southeast of Wake Island or 5,710 km east of the Philippines (16.1N Lat 174.8E Lon)...with maximum winds of 85 km/hr near the center...moving NW @ 20 kph. This storm remains too far away to affect any part of the Philippines.
