Current Status and Outlook | Tropical Disturbance 90W (LPA) which strengthened into a Tropical Depression last night is now Tropical Storm (TS) "MEARI" – a Korean word for a reflection of sound or echo. The storm is currently drifting very slowly northeastward across the Western Pacific Ocean during the past 6 hours. |
Where is the LPA? | As of 5:00 PM PhT today, November 03...0900 GMT. The developing center was located over the sea north of Western Micronesia (near 13.8N 137.3E), about 486 km north-northwest of Colonia, Yap or 1,393 km east of Bicol Region, PHL. |
How strong is it? | Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min avg): 65 kph near the center...Gustiness: 85 kph |
Where is it heading? | It was moving Northeast @ 05 kph, towards the open sea of the Western Pacific Ocean. |
Forecast Highlights | - MEARI is no longer forecast to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), as most of the Global Typhoon Models are now in good agreement for a Northeasterly (NE) track across the open waters of the Western Pacific Ocean without affecting any land areas. - Therefore, the threat of Meari for the Philippines has been decreased to Very Low as of the moment. - StormWatch on TS Meari will continue for the next 24 hours for any changes on the forecast track of the Typhoon Models. |
