+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: KROSA is expected to make its second landfall
along the Fujian-Zhejiang border in the next few hours and move inland
across Zhejiang Province tonight. Tomorrow afternoon, KROSA shall start
its recurvature towards the ENE and shall move into the East China Sea
on its way to Western Japan. This weakening system shall continue to
lose strength as it enters an area of unfavorable atmospheric environ-
ment (cooler waters and increasing wind shear conditions). Complete di-
ssipation of KROSA shall be expected on Wednesday, Oct 10.

Zhejiang border with its inner rainbands still spreading across the
rest of Fujian and Zhejiang. Gale Force to Tropical Storm winds with
heavy torrential rains will prevail near the center, while strong winds
not exceeding 60 kph with intermittent rainfall can be expected along
its inner rainbands. Meanwhile, Krosa's outer rainbands continues to
spread across Taiwan, extending over other portions of SE and Southern
China including Shanghai area. Cloudy skies with passing light to mo-
derate and sometimes heavy downpour can be expected along its outer
bands. Coastal Storm Surge flooding of 2 to 3 feet above normal tide
levels...along with large and dangerous battering waves can be expected
near and to the north of KROSA's projected path particularly over SE
China. Moderate damage is possible on this type of storm surge. Far-
fetched storm surge is possible along Western Taiwan, Okinawa and Sou-
thern China. Flash floods and mudslides are imminent along river banks,
low-lying and mountainous regions of the affected areas. Precautionary
measures must be initiated especially along the path of this storm.

possible intermittent rains & SW'ly winds of 15 km/hr or higher across
Western Coast of Luzon. Landslides and flooding is likely to occur along
steep mountain slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the
affected areas, while big sea waves or surges generated by this monsoon
can affect the coastal and beach-front areas of Western Luzon. Meanwhile,
the rest of the Philippines is under the active ITCZ (Monsoon Trough),
which will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms most especially in
the afternoon or evening.
