Tropical Storm TRAMI (MARING) has maintained its strength for the past 6 hours as it continues to move generally northward across the North Philippine Sea.
This storm will continue to induce the Southwest Monsoon (Hanging Habagat) - bringing cloudy and windy conditions with "on-and-off" slight to moderate to sometimes heavy rains across the western sections of Luzon and Visayas...becoming more frequent with moderate-to-heavy monsoon rains along Mindoro, the National Capital Region (Metro Manila), Zambales, Cordillera Administrative Region, and CaLaBaRZon today through Wednesday. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) continues to lose strength while moving across the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean. Latest dynamic forecast models continues to show the system moving generally northwestward for the next 2 days. Its center was located about 995 km southeast of Wake Island or 5,440 km east of the Philippines (15.7N Lat 175.2E Lon)...with maximum winds of 100 km/hr near the center...moving NW @ 15 kph. This storm remains too far away to affect any part of the Philippines.
Residents and visitors along Taiwan and the islands of Okinawa-Ryukyu-Miyako-Yaeyama-Ishigaki-Batanes Islands should closely monitor the development of Trami (Maring).
