and flooding is likely to occur along steep mountain/volcano 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 Taiwan and Philippines.
 
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook,
effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical cyclone watch changes

TS HAGIBIS (LANDO) zooms past Bicol...now over RP Sea...[Update #009]

Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #009
Name: TROPICAL STORM HAGIBIS [LANDO/23W/0724] 
Issued: 7:00 AM MANILA TIME (23:00 GMT) WED 28 NOVEMBER 2007
Source: JMA TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVISORY: 27/21UTC
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
  
THE WEAK TROPICAL STORM HAGIBIS (LANDO) HAS ZOOMED OUT OF CAMARINES SUR
AND IS NOW WELL OVER THE PHILIPPINE SEA. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MERGE 
WITH THE NEW STRONG DISTURBANCE (LPA) LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE PHILIPPINE
AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR). IMPROVING WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE BICOL REGION TODAY.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: HAGIBIS is expected to accelerate towards the outer
bands of the the strong disturbance (LPA) outside of PAR. 

+ EFFECTS: HAGIBIS' circulation has remained displaced and is now lo-
cated north of its low-level circulation (LLCC). These rainclouds may
bring moderate to heavy rains across the open sea.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: The Tropical Depression 25W (NONAME) which is a very
small or midget system over the Philippine Sea...has become Extratropical
and is no longer a Tropical Cyclone. Meanwhile, another strong Tropical
Disturbance 95W (LPA/1003 MB) is currently developing over the NW Pacific,
just outside of PAR...located about 1,520 km. (820 nm) East of Northern
Luzon, Philippines [17.0N 136.7E]...with max sustained winds of 35 km/hr
near the center...moving NNW @ 45 kph (25 kts) towards the open seas of
the North Pacific Ocean. Even if this system becomes a Tropical Cyclone,
it will not be a threat to any part of the Philippine Islands.
 
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!

TS HAGIBIS (LANDO) heading for Mindoro-Bicol Area...[Update #008]

Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #008
Name: TROPICAL STORM HAGIBIS [LANDO/23W/0724] 
Issued: 10:00 AM MANILA TIME (02:00 GMT) TUE 27 NOVEMBER 2007
Source: JMA TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVISORY: 27/00UTC
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
  
TROPICAL STORM HAGIBIS (LANDO) AFTER LINGERING OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH-
EASTERN VIETNAM FOR 3 TO 4 DAYS HAS TURNED BACK DUE TO THE BINARY IN-
TERACTION WITH TYPHOON MITAG AND A STRONG NEAR-EQUATORIAL HIGH PRESSURE
...NOW HEADING TOWARDS THE WESTERN PHILIPPINES. THREATENS MINDORO AND
BICOL PROVINCES.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: HAGIBIS is expected to continue accelerating ENE-ward
for the next 24 hours and shall make landfall over Mindoro this afternoon.
The storm may pass in between Romblon and Marinduque later tonight and
across Ragay Gulf early tomorrow morning. It shall make landfall over
Pasacao, Camarines Sur around 5-6 AM tomorrow, passing very close to
Naga City around 7 AM. HAGIBIS is forecast to be over Lagonoy Gulf around
8 AM tomorrow, and move across the island of Catanduanes later (approx
9 AM) before exiting out into the Philippine Sea. 

+ EFFECTS: HAGIBIS' circulation is now affecting Calamian & Mindoro, with
its center partially exposed - meaning the rain clouds of this system is
displaced away or west of the center. A new burst of convective rainclouds
has developed right of the center. This rainclouds may bring moderate to
heavy rains across the affected and forecasted area. People living around
the slopes of Mayon Volcano in Albay & of Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon -
especially along the areas where possible LAHAR FLOWS (mixture of volcanic
mud and water) are located must stay alert as moderate to heavy rains
associated by this cloudiness are likely to prevail beginning late
this afternoon. Low-lying areas of Rinconada and Partido District of
Camarines Sur must seek higher grounds for possible flooding due to 
the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this "balikbayan" storm. 
Precautionary measures must be implemented now.
 
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!

Typhoon MITAG (MINA) weakens...[Update #010]

Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #010
Name: TYPHOON MITAG [MINA/24W/0723] 
Issued: 9:00 PM MANILA TIME (21:00 GMT) MON 26 NOVEMBER 2007
Source: JTWC TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING NUMBER 025
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.
_____________________________________________________________________________
  
TYPHOON MITAG {pronounced as: me~tok} (MINA) WILL BE DOWNGRADED INTO
A TROPICAL STORM SOON AS LAND INTERACTION AND INCREASING WIND SHEAR
PREVAILS...SHALL BECOME EXTRATROPICAL IN 36 TO 48 HOURS.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: MITAG (MINA) is expected to start recurving over the
Bashi Channel early tomorrow morning and shall start accelerating towards
the ENE in the direction of the NW Pacific Ocean. MITAG shall be downgra-
ded into a tropical storm, becoming an Extratropical Cyclone earlier than
expected (2 AM Wednesday, Nov 28th).

+ EFFECTS: MITAG's Eyewall rapidly dissipating...Its inner rainbands on
the other hand, continues to spread across the northern portions of Ex-
treme Northern Luzon, bringing strong winds not in excess of 100 kph
along w/ moderate to heavy rains today. Meanwhile, the outer rainbands
continues to spread across the southern portions of Northern Luzon.
Cloudy Skies with passing rainshowers and winds not exceeding 60 km/hr
can be expected along the typhoon's outer bands. Coastal Storm Surge
flooding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...along with large
and dangerous battering waves can be expected near and to the north of
MITAG's projected path particularly over Northwestern Luzon. Minimal
damage is possible on this type of storm surge. Far-fetched Storm Surge
is also possible along coastal areas of Taiwan.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: Strong Northeast (NE) Monsoon enhanced by
Typhoon MITAG (MINA) will continue to bring cloudy skies with inter-
mittent rainshowers & strong NE'ly winds of 30 km/hr or higher across
Taiwan and SE China. Landslides, mudflows (lahars) and flooding is
likely to occur along steep mountain/volcano 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 Taiwan and SE China.
 
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!
