Typhoon TRAMI (MARING) has slightly intensified as it passed to the north of Taiwan...fast approaching the coast of Fujian Province (Southeastern China). Deteriorating weather conditions expected along the path of the typhoon.
This typhoon 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 along Occidental Mindoro, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Pangasinan and La Union tonight. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) struggling over 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 445 km east-northeast of Wake Island or 4,965 km east-northeast of the Philippines (20.5N Lat 170.7E Lon)...with maximum winds of 65 km/hr near the center...moving NNW @ 22 kph. This storm is too far away to affect any part of the Philippines.
Residents and visitors along Taiwan and Southeastern China should closely monitor the development of Trami (Maring).
