POWERFUL TYPHOON EWINIAR (ESTER) NOW CARRYING SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 205 KM/HR AS IT TRACKS NORTH-NORTHWEST ACROSS
THE WARM WATERS OF THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINE SEA.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: EWINIAR is expected to intensify a
little bit & continue tracking NW'ly across the Phili-
ppine Sea for the next 24 to 48 hours. The 3 to 5-Day
Advance Forecast (July 6-9) still shows the system
turning Northerly, then recurving NE'ly - passing just
to the east of Okinawa, Japan around 4 AM Saturday,
July 8 (approximately 127 km east of Kadena Air Base,
Okinawa).

+ EFFECTS: EWINIAR is not yet affecting any land or is-
lands at this moment. However, the outer (feeder) bands
is forecast to reach Okinawa-Ryukyu Area sometime Thurs-
day or Friday (July 6 or 7). The storm's outer bands are
characterize with passing moderate to heavy rains with
moderate to sometimes strong winds that could produce
flying debris, life-threatening flash floods and mud-
slides along river banks, low-lying areas and mountain
slopes over the affected island.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: None yet... However, this
powerful typhoon is expected to enhance & strengthen the
Southwest (SW) Monsoon across the Philippines especially
the western sections beginning late Wednesday or Thursday
until the weekend (July 05-09). This monsoon system will
bring cloudy skies with winds of approx. 30 to 60 km/hr,
accompanied with light, moderate to heavy rains. These
rains may produce life-threatening flash floods and mud-
slides along river banks, low-lying areas and mountain
slopes of the affected areas.

+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: The Tropical Disturbance (LPA/
97W/1006 mb) over Central Micronesia remains disorganized
while trying to consolidate. The disturbance was located
approximately 1,475 km SE of Hagatna, Guam (3.0N 153.1E).
It may likely become a significant Tropical Cyclone within
the next 2 to 3 days. Stay tuned for more updates on this
developing system.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast
outlook, effects, current monsoon intensity, and tropical
cyclone watch changes every 06 to 12 hours!
