TROPICAL STORM CIMARON (PAENG) RAPIDLY INTESIFYING AS IT
NEARS LUZON...FORWARD MOTION HAS JOGGED SLIGHTLY TOWARDS
THE NORTHWEST.


...ALL INTERESTS IN THE BICOL REGION, CENTRAL & NORTHERN
LUZON SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF TROPICAL
STORM CIMARON.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: CIMARON is expected to become a ty-
phoon today and shall resume its WNW track for the next
24 to 36 hours. The center is forecast to pass well to
the north of Bicol Region by Sunday (Oct 29), with its
closest point of approach of approximately 290 km NNE
of Naga City around 2 PM. The 2 to 4-day (Oct 30-Nov 1)
long-range forecast shows CIMARON making landfall just
to the north of Casiguran, Aurora or over the Sierra
Madre Mountains early Monday morning (Oct 30) and shall
weaken as it crosses Northern Luzon passing over the
provinces of Aurora, Quirino, Southern Isabela, Nueva
Vizcaya, Ifugao, Benguet & La Union. The center shall
be over the South China Sea early Tuesday morning, Oct
31. Further weakening of CIMARON over the South China
Sea is forecast due to poor atmospheric environment
(cooler sea surface temperatures & increasing wind shear)


+ EFFECTS: The system's outer bands is expected to arrive
over the Bicol Region & Samar Provinces anytime today.
Increasing sea swells and high waves can be expected along
the eastern coasts of the Philippines as CIMARON continues
to move closer to Luzon. Please take all necessary precau-
tions and start boarding up as this system may cause con-
siderable damage along its projected forecast path
.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast
outlook, effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical
cyclone watch changes every 06 to 12 hours!

REMARKS: 2 AM (18 GMT) 28 OCTOBER POSITION: 14.0N 129.1E.
^TS Cimaron continues to track west-northwestward along
the southwestern periphery of a subtropical ridge anchored
east of Taiwan and this general track is expected to conti-
nue through 48 hours. An approaching midlatitude low pre-
ssure trough currently over central China will induce a
weakness in the steering ridge between 24 and 36 hours.
However, this trough is not expected to extend far enough
EquatorWard to capture TS Cimaron into the mid-latitude
flow. A ridge building over Eastern China in the wake of
this trough will become the primary steering mechanism
for TS Cimaron after 48 hours and is expected to flatten
the storm track to nearly due west as the storm crosses
Central Luzon..
