3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NESAT (PEDRING) is expected to start moving WNW troughout the forecast period with little change in its forward speed. On the forecast track, the center of the typhoon will pass more or less 200 km to the north of Bicol Region late this afternoon or evening...and will touchdown over Aurora Province in between Baler and Casiguran by Tuesday morning. NESAT will then cross the northern part of Central Luzon - moving across Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Benguet...and exit the area through La Union Tuesday evening. By Wednesday evening, NESAT will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on its way towards Hainan Island, Southern China.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 140 km/hr (75 knots) with higher gusts. NESAT is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Gradual strengthening will continue during the 24 hours...and NESAT could be near-Super Typhoon strength before it makes landfall Tuesday. This system will gradually weaken just below typhoon strength as it traverses Luzon Tuesday...and will regain typhoon status upon moving back to sea by Wednesday.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 75 kilometers (40 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 280 kilometers (150 nautical miles). NESAT is now a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 835 kilometers (450 nautical miles).

The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:

TUESDAY EARLY MORNING:  Intensifies to a Category 4 Typhoon as it approaches the coast of Aurora...about 111 km ESE of Casiguran, Aurora [2AM SEP 27: 15.7N 123.0 @ 215kph].
WEDNESDAY EARLY MORNING:  Regains Typhoon status as it moves out into the West Philippine Sea...about 140 km WNW of San Fernando, La Union [2AM SEP 28: 16.8N 119.0E @ 140kph].
THURSDAY EARLY MORNING:  Maintains its strength as it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) towards Southern China...about 552 km WNW of Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, PH [2AM SEP 29: 17.9 115.2E @ 140kph].

**Alternate Forecast Scenario (AFS): There is a possibility that NESAT (PEDRING) will continue moving Westward and make landfall over Northern Quezon & Southern Aurora instead...cutting across Central Luzon...and exiting along Pangasinan-Northern Zambales Area. This scenario may happen if the High Pressure Steering Ridge northeast of the typhoon will not weaken & extends westward.


NESAT's (PEDRING) CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH (CPA)*

AURORA:  JIn between Baler & Casiguran...[ETA: 7:00-8:00 AM Local Time, Tuesday].
QUIRINO:  Moving across the central part of the province [ETA: 8:00-9:00 AM Tuesday].
BAGUIO CITY:  Passing very close to the south (about 5-10km) [ETA: 5:00-7:00 PM Tuesday].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.
