TYPHOON PEIPAH (KABAYAN) NOW ON A WEAKENING PHASE AS IT DRIFTS WEST-
NORTHWEST DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS...LIKELY TO BE DOWNGRADED INTO A
TROPICAL STORM TONIGHT.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: PEIPAH is expected to track Westward for the
next 12 and will continue to weaken. The 2 to 5-day forecast now
shows PEIPAH weakening more rapidly than expected due to increasing
wind shear conditions (upper lever winds) across the South China Sea.
The system shall be approaching the Eastern Coast of Southern Vietnam
Saturday afternoon, Nov 10 as a dissipating Tropical Storm and shall
make landfall in the vicinity Vietnam in the evening. It shall dissi-
pate over Cambodia Sunday afternoon, Nov 11

+ EFFECTS: PEIPAH's weak circulation remains compact in the middle of
the South China Sea...no longer affecting any land mass. Coastal Storm
Surge flooding of 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...along with
large and dangerous battering waves can be expected near and to the
north of PEIPAH's projected path Minimal damage is possible on this
type of storm surge. Far-fetched storm surge is also possible along
coastal areas of Western Luzon.

+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: The Tropical Disturbance (LPA/98W/1004 MB)
over the Philippine Sea has dissipated and is no longer considered
suspect for possible TC development. The remnants of this disturbance
is now moving across the coastal areas of Northern Samar and Bicol
Region, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers or thunder-
storms.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITYNortheast (NE)
 Monsoon enhanced by TY
PEIPAH (KABAYAN) will continue to bring cloudy skies with intermittent
rains & strong NE'ly winds of 30 km/hr or higher across Batanes Group,
Taiwan and the Coastal areas of Southern and Eastern China. Landslides
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 Extreme Northern Luzon & Taiwan.
 
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!
