  • Tropical Storm MOLAVE (ISANG) resumed its WNW track...now approaching Calayan Group of Islands...expected to pass over the islands early this evening...Stormy weather across Northern Luzon...Heavy Monsoon Rains continues to affect Western Luzon and parts of Central Luzon, including Metro Manila.

    *Residents and visitors along Extreme Northern Luzon & Southern China should closely monitor the progress of MOLAVE.

    *Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.


    + Forecast Outlook: MOLAVE is expected to continue moving WNW under the steering influence of a low-to-mid-level high pressure northeast of the storm which has been extending into Eastern China. The 3-day medium-range forecast shows MOLAVE passing over the Calayan Group of Islands tonight before moving out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow morning (Saturday) July 18. The storm shall accelerate WNW, reaching its peak wind speed of 95 kph tomorrow and start weakening before it makes landfall north of Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon, July 19. Dissipation of MOLAVE is forecast along the mountainous terrain of Guangdong Province of China early Monday morning, July 20.

    + Effects: MOLAVE's improving main core (CDO) has started to move into the Balintang Channel near the coast of Northern Cagayan where its inner bands is located. Its southwestern outer bands continues to spread across Northern & portions of Central Luzon...Widespread rains and winds not exceeding 60 kph can be expected along these bands, with increasing wind velocity of up to 100 kph near the core of MOLAVE. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 200 mm can be expected along the storm's rain bands...with isolated accumulations of up to 300 mm near the center of MOLAVE and along mountain slopes of Northern Luzon. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible near the center of MOLAVE. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Northern & Eastern Luzon, including the monsoon affected areas.

    + Current SW Monsoon Intensity: STRONG >> Moderate to strong southwesterly winds not in excess of 50 kph with occasional to continuous moderate to heavy rains, and passing squalls can be expected along the following affected areas: PALAWAN, MINDORO, WESTERN LUZON, WESTERN VISAYAS, WESTERN BICOL, & METRO MANILA. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.
