View: Advisory Archives (2004-2009)

  • Tropical Storm LUPIT (RAMIL) gained more strength as it accelerates away from the Philippines...approaching Okinawa and the Ryukyus (Southern Islands of Japan).

    *Residents and visitors along Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands & Southern Japan should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).

    *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: LUPIT is expected to continue tracking NE-ward fast towards the Ryukyus and shall exit PAR this afternoon. The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT weakening as it becomes an Extratropical (Middle-Latitude) Cyclone tomorrow afternoon. Complete transition into Extratropical will be on Wednesday Oct 28. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

    + Effects: LUPIT's circulation has slightly improved as it accelerates NE-ward. Rainbands continues spreading into Okinawa and the Ryukyus...rains and winds of not in excess of 100 kph can be expected. 24-hr total rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated amounts of 100 to 200 mm (very heavy rain) near the center of LUPIT especially along the northern part. Click here to view the latest eTRaP graphic on the storm's rainfall amount. 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 along the coastal areas of Okinawa and Ryukyu Islands. 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 Southern Japan & Taiwan.

    + Tropical Cyclone Watch:

    Tropical Disturbance 95W [LPA],
    a new one has been observed forming over the Pacific Ocean and is moving West to WNW in the direction of the Southern Marianas. This system may likely become a Tropical Cyclone w/in the next 36 to 48 hours
    ...currently located near 1at 11.2N lon 156.5E...or about 1,295 km ESE of Guam...2,345 km East of P.A.R...3,370 km East of Visayas. It has 1-min. windspeeds of 30 kph near the center. The latest (12Z Oct 24) European Forecast Guidance Model (ECMWF, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), which is the better and most-reliable guidance model this 2009 - shows this system heading westward (aka. "Straight-Runner") into the Philippine Sea, early next week, becoming a dangerous typhoon as it approaches Luzon, Philippines on Thursday-Friday, October 29-30 and striking Northern Bicol-NCR-Central Luzon Area on Halloween Weekend, Saturday-Sunday (Oct 31 to Nov 01). Please take note that this model changes every 12 hours, so a shift to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

    REMARKS: 2 AM (18 GMT) SUN 25 OCTOBER POSITION: 23.5N 126.7E.
    *THE FORECAST REASONING AND TRACK HAVE
    CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE WARNING NR 043 TO REFLECT A MORE INTENSE
    SYSTEM THAT WILL UNDERGO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. DESPITE THE
    PRESENCE OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (20 TO 30 KNOTS) THAT IS
    CAUSING TS LUPIT TO TILT SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTHEAST, ANIMATED
    INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS INCREASED DEEP CONVECTION WITH A BANDING EYE
    AND PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE
    CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE METSAT IMAGERY WHILE THE CURRENT
    INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND RJTD (55
    KNOTS) DUE TO THE CONSOLIDATED LOW LEVEL STRUCTURE EVIDENT IN A
    241744Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE. DESPITE INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
    SHEAR, TS LUPIT IS NOT EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS QUICKLY AS PREVIOUSLY
    FORECAST DUE TO STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO THE MID-LATITUDE
    WESTERLIES. ADDITIONALLY, AS LUPIT STARTS TO ENCOUNTER UNFAVORABLE
    SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES BY TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL START TO
    INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND GAIN JET SUPPORT. THIS WILL
    ENABLE LUPIT TO DEVELOP INTO A STRONG BAROCLINIC SYSTEM WITH
    TRANSITION COMPLETE BY TAU 72. THE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME
    INTO VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS EXTRATROPICAL SCENARIO AND NO
    LONGER INDICATES DISSIPATION..
