APPROACHING THE PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR)
AS IT MAINTAINS ITS WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK AND STRENGTH...
LIKELY TO BECOME A TYPHOON TODAY.


+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: MAN-YI is expected to resume its inten-
sification in the coming hours and days as it traverses the
Philippine Sea. This storm shall continue moving in a gene-
rally WNW to NW'ly track for the next 2 to 3 days. Majority
of the computer forecast models continues to show a Taiwan-
Okinawa path sometime July 13-14. Based on its current speed,
MAN-YI is forecast to enter the Philippine Area of Responsi-
bility (PAR) around 11 PM tonight. The 4 to 5-day long-range
forecast (Jul 14-15) shows the storm becoming a Category 4
Typhoon (215 km/hr) as it turns toward the North, passing to
the West of Okinawa, Japan early Saturday morning (Jul 14)


+ EFFECTS: MAN-YI's over-all circulation remains large and
continues to cover the whole Micronesia, Marianas and por-
tions of the Philippine Sea - with its outer cloud bands
reaching as far as Saipan to the East & Palau to the West.
Overcast skies with moderate to heavy rains & gale-force
winds of 55-65 km/hr will continue to prevail today over
the mentioned areas
.

+ MONSOON INTENSITY FORECAST: The advance 2 to 4-day fore-
cast suggests a surge of moderate to strong Southwest (SW)
Monsoon which is likely to affect the Philippines sometime
July 12-14 (Thu-Sat)
due to the passage of MAN-YI over the
Philippine Sea, which is expected to enhance the Monsoon
system. Cloudy skies with intermittent passing rains or
thunderstorms can be expected across the country w/ SW'ly
winds of 30 km/hr or higher, becoming more intense along
Western Luzon & Western Visayas including Metro Manila.
