Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed can be expected from time to time.

EFFECTS & HAZARDS

06W's circulation remains sheared with most of its rain-cloud convection located to the South and West of its center. Its rain bands remains over South China Sea, with some patches near the coastal areas of Central Vietnam. Moderate to strong winds of up to 55 kph with higher gusts can be expected within the southern & western quadrants of the rain bands. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 75 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 150 mm (heavy) situated along the Western and Southern periphery of 06W's center. 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.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!

  • REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SUN 22 AUGUST POSITION: 16.0N 114.2E.
    *RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
    INDICATES TIGHTLY CURVED LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WELL
    DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH DEEP CONVECTION
    CONSOLIDATING OVER THE SYSTEM CENTER. A 220132Z PARTIAL ASCAT PASS
    SHOWS 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC FROM THE SOUTH-
    SOUTHEAST. A 220537Z 37 GHZ TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE CONFIRMS THE
    CURRENT POSITION WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE AND REVEALS THAT A MAJORITY OF
    THE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING REMAINS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
    THE SYSTEM. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN DVORAK
    ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES OF 25 KNOTS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED
    ASCAT PASS AND A SHIP OBSERVATION 50 NM SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM
    SHOWING WINDS FROM THE SOUTH AT 30 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
    INDICATES THAT A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT) CELL OVER
    LUZON IS BEGINING TO FILL, ALLOWING FOR IMPROVED VENTING, HOWEVER
    POLEWARD OUTFLOW STILL REMAINS RESTRICTED BY THIS TUTT CELL. THE
    SYSTEM CONTINUES TO HAVE EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED
    WITH INCREASED DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES
    THAT THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING OVER AN AREA OF HIGH OCEAN HEAT
