Meanwhile, its inner and outer bands will continue to spread across Southern Tagalog Provinces and portions of Central Luzon. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 150 mm (light, moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 250 mm (very heavy) near the center of CONSON.

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 4 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Southern Tagalog Provinces, Western Luzon, and Manila Bay. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 PM (12 GMT) TUE 13 JULY POSITION: 14.5N 122.2E.
*ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SLIGHT
WEAKENING DUE TO LAND INTERACTION AND MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). HOWEVER, A 130455Z AMSR-E 36 GHZ IMAGE
SHOWS A SMALL SYSTEM WITH TIGHTLY CURVED BANDING WITH A SMALL
MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. THIS SIGNATURE ALONG WITH DVORAK ESTIMATES
RANGING FROM 45 TO 77 KNOTS SUPPORT THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 65
KNOTS. THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION AND MOTION
BASED ON THE AMSR-E IMAGE. TY 03W CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD TOWARD
MANILA UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A STRONG MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) POSITIONED NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. UPPER AIR
DATA FROM LAOAG (98223) AND XISHA DAO (59981) INDICATE STRONG UPPER-
LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW AT 45-70 KNOTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN SOUTH CHINA
SEA. THEREFORE, TY 03W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD
ACROSS SOUTHERN LUZON BUT SHOULD TURN WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TO
NORTHWESTWARD AS IT APPROACHES THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
STR. THE MAJORITY OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THIS TRACK WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE GFS, WHICH DEPICTS AN ERRONEOUS NORTHWARD TRACK
TOWARD TAIWAN. TY 03W IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLOWLY THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD (BUT SHOULD MAINTAIN MODERATE TROPICAL STORM
STRENGTH OVER THE WARM WATER) DUE TO THE MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT
CHARACTERIZED BY STRONG NORTHERLY VWS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STR
ENTRENCHED OVER SOUTHERN CHINA. TY 03W WILL MAKE LANDFALL SOUTHWEST
OF HONG KONG NEAR TAU 72 AND WILL DISSIPATE OVER LAND AFTER TAU 96....(more)
