TYPHOON PEIPAH (KABAYAN) LOSING STRENGTH AS IT BEGUN HEADING SOUTHWEST-
WARD...EXITS THE PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR).

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: PEIPAH is expected to track WSW for the next 12 to
24 hours and weaken. The 2 to 5-day forecast now showing PEIPAH weake-
ning more rapidly than expected due to increasing wind shear conditions
(upper lever winds) across the South China Sea. The system shall be
approaching the Eastern Coast of Southern Vietnam early Sunday morning,
Nov 11 as a dissipating Tropical Depression and shall make landfall in
the vicinity of Nha Trang, Vietnam. It shall dissipate near Ho Chi
Minh City on early Monday morning, Nov 12

+ EFFECTS: PEIPAH's circulation remains compact in the middle of the
South China Sea. Extreme Eastern portion of its outer rainbands no
longer affecting Western Luzon. Coastal Storm Surge flooding of 3 to
5 feet above normal tide levels...along with large and dangerous ba-
ttering waves can be expected near and to the north of PEIPAH's pro-
jected path Minimal damage is possible on this type of storm surge.
Far-fetched storm surge is also possible along coastal areas of
Western Luzon.

+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: The Tropical Disturbance (LPA/98W/1004 MB)
over the Philippine Sea has dissipated and is no longer considered
suspect for possible TC development.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITYNortheast (NE)
 Monsoon enhanced by TY
PEIPAH (KABAYAN) will continue to bring cloudy skies with intermi-
ttent rains & strong NE'ly winds of 30 km/hr or higher across Batanes
Group, Taiwan and the Coastal areas of Southern and Eastern China.
Landslides and flooding is likely to occur along steep mountain/volcano
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 Extreme Northern Luzon
& Taiwan.
