12:00 NN PhT (04:00 GMT) Tue 21 August 2012 Powerful Typhoon TEMBIN (IGME) moving northward little faster...has maintained its 215-kph winds. Threat to the Philippine Islands continues to diminish as it endangers Taiwan.
Since the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) remains weak, the pull of Typhoon TEMBIN on this seasonal wind system is still not much. However, isolated to scattered rains and thunderstorms will continue is some parts of Luzon including Metro Manila and Baguio City.
Meanwhile, the other cyclone - Tropical Storm BOLAVEN (16W) continues to intensify while over the Western Pacific Ocean, NW of Guam. Check out the latest details on this system at the TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH section of this page.
Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon and Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of TEMBIN (IGME).

FRIDAY NOON: Moving across the Taiwan Strait after traversing Taiwan...weakens slightly...approaching Eastern Guangdong in Southern China...about 120 km SE of Xiamen City, China [12PM AUG 24: 23.8N 119.0E @ 175kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...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 must be anticipated from time to time. OUTER RAINBANDS - particularly the southwestern and western bands are affecting & spreading across the tiny island group of Babuyan, Batanes and Calayan. Cloudy/Rainy Conditions with moderate to strong winds (<62 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 201 to 400 mm (high to very high) along areas near the center of Tembin (Igme) (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 13-18 ft (4-5.5 m) above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal, inland lakes and beach front areas of Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group. Extreme damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the rest of the beach-front areas of Eastern and Northern Luzon and Taiwan (click here to know more about Storm Surge).
