*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. 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
LIONROCK's strong circulation continues to meander over the warm waters of the South China Sea. If the forecast track goes well, Tropical Storm Force Winds are expected to reach the western coast of Western Taiwan tomorrow afternoon or evening...and over Southern Fujian by tomorrow evening or Thursday morning. Click here to view the latest NOAA-CIRA's Wind Analysis. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 100 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along the its rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 230 mm (heavy) near the center of LIONROCK.

CURRENT SOUTHWEST MONSOON INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Mostly cloudy skies with passing on-&-off showers, rains & thunderstorms can be expected along these following affected areas: LUZON including METRO MANILA, BICOL REGION, PARTS OF WESTERN VISAYAS, WESTERN MINDANAO AND BATANES-CALAYAN-BABUYAN GROUP OF ISLANDS. Light to moderate SW winds (not in excess of 40 kph) can be expected.

*SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A DECREASE IN CENTRAL CONVECTION WITHIN THE PAST 6
HOURS WITH CONVECTIVE BANDING CONTINUING TO WRAP AROUND A WELL-
DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS
BASED ON THE MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. INITIAL
INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES
RANGING FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS. TS 07W HAS MAINTAINED GOOD EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOW, HOWEVER AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH IS INHIBITING
POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND CREATING INCREASED SUBSIDENCE TO THE NORTH. TS
07W IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND HIGH OCEAN
HEAT CONTENT FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. TS LIONROCK IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE EXTENSION TO THE SOUTH AND EAST AS WELL AS DIRECT CYCLONE
INTERACTION WITH TS 09W. TS 07W IS THEN FORECAST TO MERGE WITH 09W
BY TAU 36 AND TURN NORTHWESTWARD AS THE STEERING RIDGE BUILDS TO THE
NORTH. TS LIONROCK SHOULD REACH LAND BY TAU 48 AND DISSIPATE OVER
LAND AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE BY TAU 96. NUMERICAL MODELS
DISAGREE IN THE TIMING OF THE TURN NORTHWESTWARD AND THIS FORECAST
FAVORS A SLIGHTLY SLOWER TURN THAN THE MODEL CONSENSUS...(more)
