    + Effects & Hazards: CHANTHU's circulation continues to become better organized while over the South China Sea. Its extreme-eastern outer (feeder) bands has slightly extended and is currently affecting the coastal areas of Zambales & Western Pangasinan. However, its rain content has weakened somewhat. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 50 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 85 mm (moderate) near the center of CHANTHU.

    + Current ITCZ Intensity: MODERATE >> Sunny to mostly cloudy skies with scattered to widespread afternoon or evening rains w/ strong thunderstorms can be expected along the following affected areas: REST OF THE PHILIPPINES. 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.

  • REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2AM (18 GMT) TUE 20 JULY POSITION: 16.4N 116.5E.
    *ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
    191809Z AMSR-E MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING
    WRAPPING AROUND A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
    (LLCC) FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST.  ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOWS TS
    CHANTHU IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SUPPORTING GOOD
    OUTFLOW ALOFT AND IS IN AN AREA OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TS
    04W HAS RECENTLY TURNED NORTHWARD DUE TO A WEAKNESS IN THE
    SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO A
    PASSING MID-LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH. AS THE
    STEERING RIDGE REBUILDS, TS 04W SHOULD BEGIN TO TRACK MORE
    NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A NARROW RIDGE
    INDICATED IN UPPER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS FROM CHINA. TS 04W WILL
    CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO GOOD
    OUTFLOW, WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, AND LOW VWS. IT IS FORECAST
    TO MAKE LANDFALL AFTER TAU 48 AND BEGIN TO DISSIPATE OVER LAND.
    AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS SPREAD AS TO EXACTLY WHERE TS
    04W WILL REACH LAND.....
