Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #011
Name: TYPHOON KROSA [INENG/17W/0715] 
Issued: 7:00 AM MANILA TIME (23:00 GMT) SUN 07 OCTOBER 2007
Next Update: 7:00 PM (11:00 GMT) SUN 07 OCTOBER

Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
 
TYPHOON KROSA (INENG) LASHED THROUGH NORTHERN TAIWAN LAST NIGHT AND
IS NOW MOVING ALONG TAIWAN STRAIT...EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST
OF FUJIAN PROVINCE THIS AFTERNOON...DOWNGRADED TO CATEGORY 2, WITH
WINDS OF 165 KM/HR.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: KROSA is expected to resume moving NW'ly with its
EYE passing over the beach front areas of Fujian Province this after-
noon. The 12 to 24-hour forecast shows KROSA weakening further upon
landfall off the Coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang Province early
tonight and shall turn NE back to sea or off the East China Sea
tomorrow morning. 

+ EFFECTS: KROSA's weakening EyeWall is now off Taiwan Strait and is
expected to affect the Coastal areas of SE China later this afternoon.
Its inner raibands continues to spread across the Chinese Provinces
of Fujian and Zhejiang and across Northwestern Taiwan. Typhoon-force
winds with very heavy rains can be expected within the Eyewall while
Tropical Storm-Force winds not exceeding 110 kph and intermittent
rainfall can be expected along its inner rainbands. Meanwhile, Krosa's
outer rainbands continues to spread across Taiwan, extending over other
portions of SE and Southern China. Cloudy skies with passing light to
moderate and sometimes heavy downpour can be expected along its outer
bands. Coastal Storm Surge flooding of 6 to 8 feet above normal tide
levels...along with large and dangerous battering waves can be expec-
ted near and to the north of KROSA's projected path particularly over
Taiwan & SE China. Moderate damage is possible on this type of storm
surge. Far-fetched storm surge is possible along Okinawa and Southern
China. Flash floods and mudslides are imminent along river banks, low-
lying and mountainous regions of the affected areas. Precautionary
measures must be initiated especially along the path of this typhoon.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: Weakening Southwest (SW)
Monsoon enhanced
by Typhoon KROSA (INENG) - will continue to bring mostly cloudy skies
with possible intermittent rains & SW'ly winds of 15 km/hr or higher
across Western Philippines. Landslides and flooding is likely to occur
along steep mountain slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone
areas of the affected areas, while big sea waves or surges generated
by this monsoon can affect the coastal and beach-front areas of Wes-
tern Visayas and Western Luzon. Meanwhile, the rest of the Philippines
is under the active ITCZ (Monsoon Trough), which will bring scattered
rains and thunderstorms most especially in the afternoon or evening.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: TWO SMALL TROPICAL STORMS NAMELY: 
HAIYAN AND PODUL HAS SIMULTANEOUSLY DEVELOPED OVER THE OPEN SEAS
OF THE 
NORTHWEST PACIFIC...NOT A THREAT TO ANY LAND MASS...HAIYAN
ON THE 
OTHER HAND HAD DISSIPATED ALREADY, WHILE PODUL CONTINUES
TO MOVE
MOVE FAST TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST.
 
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!

REMARKS: 2 AM (18 GMT) 07 OCTOBER POSITION: 25.6N 121.2E.
^TY 17W (KROSA) TRACKED ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST OF TAIWAN
AND THEN NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE COAST OF CHINA. DURING THIS TIME,
TY 17W WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY FROM A 115 KNOT SYSTEM TO 75 KNOTS.
THIS WEAKENING WAS CAUSED BY THE DISRUPTION OF THE INFLOW INTO THE
STORM, AS WELL AS, LAND INTERACTION AND THE ENTRAINMENT OF DRIER
CONTINENTAL AIR. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL AND MICROWAVE IMAGES INDICATE
THAT MOST OF THE CONVECTION IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE PARTIALLY EXPOSED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE DEEP
CONVECTION NEAR THE CENTER. TY 17W TRACKED MORE WESTWARD THAN
FORECAST PREVIOUSLY DUE TO A STRONGER SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR)
LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE STORM THAT IS EXTENDING ACROSS THE EAST
CHINA SEA

THE EYE OF TYPHOON KROSA (INENG) HAS UNDERGONE AN UNBELIEVABLE WEST-
WARD MOTION AND STRUCK THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN TAIWAN IN THE LAST
FEW HOURS, THEN IT MOVED TO A SOUTHERLY-COUNTERCLOCKWISE TRACK AS
SHOWN ON TAIWAN'S RADAR SYSTEM...PLACING THE EYE STILL ALONG THE
COAST OF NORTHERN TAIWAN, NEAR HUALIEN CITY. CATASTROPHIC WINDS
WITH HEAVY TORRENTIAL RAINS IS NOW LASHING THE AREA INCLUDING
TAIPEI.

Fujian and Zhejiang Province in SE China tomorrow evening til
Monday, Oct 08. 

+ EFFECTS: KROSA's EyeWall continues to blast Northern & Central
Taiwan while its inner rainbands spreading across Southern Taiwan,
Taiwan Strait and the Coastal areas of SE China. Extreme Typhoon-
force winds with very heavy rains can be expected within the Eyewall

SUPER TYPHOON KROSA (INENG) APPROACHING THE NORTHERN PART OF TAIWAN...
INNER RAIBANDS AFFECTING YAEYAMA ISLANDS AND THE EASTERN COAST OF
TAIWAN.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: KROSA is expected to continue moving NW'ly at a
faster pace, with its EYE passing over the Northern tip of Taiwan
tonight. Dangerous Eyewall will affect Northern Taiwan including Taipei
late this afternoon. The EYE shall pass about 30 km to the NE of Taipei
around 11 PM tonight before turning poleward (North) towards the coast
of SE China. During its approach to Northern Taiwan, KROSA shall weaken
to a Category 3 system due to land interaction. The 2 to 5-day forecast
shows the typhoon slowing down off the coast of Zhejiang, China as it
starts tracking towards the NE in the direction South Korea on Monday
til Tuesday (Oct 8-9). KROSA shall be downgraded into a Tropical Storm
as it starts transitioning into an Extratropical Cyclone sometime Wed-
nesday, Oct 10 while traversing the waters of the East China Sea. 

+ EFFECTS: KROSA's NE EyeWall lashing the Yaeyama group of islands
while its inner rainbands now moving in across the Eastern parts of
Taiwan. Typhoon-force winds with very heavy rains can be expected
within the Eyewall while Tropical Storm-Force winds not exceeding 100
kph and intermittent rainfall can be expected along its inner rain-
bands. Meanwhile, Krosa's outer rainbands continues to spread across
Taiwan and Extreme Northern Luzon and is now extending over SE China
and Okinawa. Cloudy skies with passing light to moderate and sometimes
heavy downpour can be expected along its outer bands. Coastal Storm
Surge flooding of 13 to 18 feet above normal tide levels...along with
large and dangerous battering waves can be expected near and to the
north of KROSA's projected path particularly over Taiwan & Yaeyama
Islands. Extreme damage is possible on this type of storm surge. Far-
fetched storm surge is possible along the SE Coast of China, Okinawa
and the Northern coastal stretch of the Philippines. Flash floods and
mudslides are imminent along river banks, low-lying and mountainous
regions of the affected areas. Precautionary measures must be initia-
ted especially along the path of this monster typhoon.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: Moderate Southwest (SW)
Monsoon enhanced
by Super Typhoon KROSA (INENG) - will continue to bring mostly cloudy
skies with possible intermittent rains & SW'ly winds of 15 km/hr or
higher across Western Philippines becoming more frequent over Mindoro,
Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, Batangas, Calamian Group, Lubang Island,
Marinduque, Bondoc Peninsula, Burias & Ticao Islands, Masbate & Western
Bicol. Landslides and flooding is likely to occur along steep mountain
slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas,
while big sea waves or surges generated by this monsoon can affect the
coastal and beach-front areas of Western Visayas and Western Luzon.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Philippines is under the active ITCZ
(Monsoon Trough), which will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms
most especially in the afternoon or evening.
