TYPHOON PARMA [PEPENG/19W/0917]

  • Typhoon PARMA (PEPENG) slows down as it moves away from Ilocos Norte. Stormy weather still affecting Extreme Northwestern Luzon.

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

    *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: PARMA is expected to move very slowly as it is in an area of weak steering flow from the High Pressure Area to its NE. The Interaction between Super Typhoon MELOR & PARMA has not yet taken place, since the two systems are still 2,320 km. from each other. Direct Cyclone Interaction (DCI) (aka. Fujiwhara Effect) can only happen if the two (2) systems are w/in 1,450 km. to each other. The 3 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast has changed, showing most computer models & various asian weather agencies, taking PARMA into this new forecast track - which is a turn WSW into the South China Sea in the coming 3 to 5 days. *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There's also a possibility that PARMA and MELOR shall be both into DCI mode...where MELOR recurves to the NE and PARMA follows suit. This scenaro is the least possible forecast route at this time.

    + Effects: PARMA's main circulation has slightly moved offshore...Its core (eye & eyewall) is now about 100km. from the coast of Ilocos Norte...Typhoon conditions of winds not exceeding 120 kph can still be expected along Ilocos Norte...while its inner (rain) bands spreading across Ilocos Sur, Abra, Kalinga, Apayao, Calayan Island Group, and Western Cagayan - where stormy conditions w/ winds not exceeding 85 kph can be expected today. Central Luzon and rest of Northern Luzon will remain under PARMA's outer (feeder) bands), where light to moderate rains w/ winds not exceeding 60 kph can be expected today. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along PARMA's rainbands...with isolated accumulations of up to 400 mm (very heavy rain) near the center of PARMA. 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 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Extreme Northwestern Luzon. Minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge.
