TROPICAL STORM JELAWAT (DOMENG) WEAKENS AS IT PASSES OVER
NORTHERN HAINAN ISLAND..
.NOW HEADING TOWARDS SOUTHWESTERNNORTHERN HAINAN ISLAND..
CHINA.
+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: JELAWAT is expected to make landfall over SW
China tonight. This system is forecast to dissipate over China
tomorrow due to land effects and the absence of warm moisture.
+ EFFECTS: JELAWAT's main core (inner rain bands) is now off the
Northeastern Coast of Hainan Island with its outer bands spreading
well across Hainan, Coastal Guangdong and the Gulf of Tonkin. The
storm's core particularly the inner & outer bands are expected to
bring moderate to heavy torrential rains with strong winds that
could produce flying debris, life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides along river banks, low-lying areas and mountain slopes
over the affected areas. Residents residing along the coastal
beachfront areas of Hainan and Guangdong are advised to seek higher
grounds due to possible high waves from the sea. Coastal Storm Surge
flooding from 1 to 3 feet can be expected along the path of this
intensifying storm, thereby advising all sea vessels to remain at
port and avoid passing over it.
+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: Southwest Monsoon is still being drawn
by this storm towards Palawan and portions of Western Philippines.
The affected area(s) will continue to experience cloudy skies with
light to moderate/heavy rains today. These rains may produce life-
threatening flash floods and mudslides along river banks, low-lying
areas and mountain slopes of the affected areas.
+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: The Active Low Pressure Area (aka. Tropical
Disturbance) has been drifting NW over the past 6 hours and remains
just to the east of Mindanao...some 235 km ESE of Surigao City (8.8N
127.4E). This system is currently bringing moderate to heavy rains
across the Eastern Coast of Mindanao including Siargao Island and
will be monitored closely for possible development into a Tropical
Cyclone. Please stay tuned.
effects & current monsoon intensity changes every 06 to 12 hours!

^ TS JELAWAT CONTINUES TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD AROUND THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
ANCHORED JUST EAST OF OKINAWA. THE CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST
(CDO) HAS APPEARED TO MOVE ALMOST DUE WEST OVER THE PAST

CULATION CENTER IS UNDER THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE
CDO. AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OVER
EAST-CENTRAL CHINA IS WEAKENING THE RIDGE SLIGHTLY,
WHICH WILL ALLOW JELAWAT TO LIFT TOWARD A MORE NORTHERLY
TRACK MAKING LANDFALL JUST PRIOR TO 24 HOURS.(more info)
