TYPHOON PARMA [PEPENG/19W/0917]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 020

6:00 PM PST (10:00 GMT) Sun 04 October 2009

View: Advisory Archives (2004-2009)

  • Typhoon PARMA (PEPENG) drifting NNE slowly...may stall in the coming hours...Stormy weather to continue overnight across NW Luzon particularly Ilocos Provinces.

    *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 or quasi-stationary west of Balintang Channel - and track erratically as it is in an area of weak steering flow from the High Pressure Area to its NE. 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 Direct Cyclone Interaction (DCI) (aka. Fujiwhara Effect)...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...Stormy conditions w/ winds not exceeding 100 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 75 kph can be expected tonight until tomorrow. 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.

    + Tropical Cyclone Watch:

    (1) Super Typhoon MELOR (20W) accelerating fast away from Northern Marianas...may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow.

    REMARKS: 2 PM (06 GMT) 04 OCTOBER POSITION: 19.3N 119.8E.
    *PARMA REMAINS AT TYPHOON STRENGTH, WHICH IS VALIDATED BY
    A DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM PGTW. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
    EXTENDING AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN TAIWAN WILL PROVIDE A PERIOD OF
    ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW, BUT SIGNIFICANT INTENSIFICATION SHOULD BE
    OVERRIDDEN BY THE EFFECTS OF UPWELLING. THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A WEAK
    STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND IS PROJECTED TO LINGER OFF THE COAST OF
    LUZON FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS. GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE ONLY SOLUTION
    THAT TRACKS THE SYSTEM INTO THE PHILIPPINE SEA AS A CONSEQUENCE OF
    RIDGING RE-ESTABLISHING TO THE EAST AND BECOMING THE PREDOMINANT
    STEERING MECHANISM. THE OTHER AVAILABLE AIDS EVENTUALLY BUILD IN
    RIDGING TO THE WEST (OVER CHINA) AND SLOWLY TRACK THE TYPHOON INTO
    THE CENTRAL SOUTH CHINA SEA. THE FORECAST TRACK REFLECTS THE
    MAJORITY OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE; HOWEVER, THE GFS SOLUTION CAN NOT BE
    COMPLETELY RULED OUT AT THIS TIME. WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING (AND
    ASSOCIATED WESTERLIES) JUST TO THE NORTH, A WESTWARD TRACK IS ALSO
    METEOROLOGICALLY PLAUSIBLE...
