3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

NALGAE (QUIEL) will continue moving westward (known in meteorology as a "Straight-Runner") during the next 24 hours...and a slight turn to the WNW w/ a decrease on its forward speed throughout the outlook period. On the forecast track, the small core of the typhoon will exit Northern Luzon via La Union around Sunset...and emerge over the West Philippine Sea tonight. NALGAE will move out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), on its way to Hainan Island, Sunday afternoon or evening...then approaching the SE Coast of Hainan Island by Tuesday.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 195 km/hr (105 knots) with higher gusts. Rapid weakening is likely while crossing land. NALGAE is a Category 3 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale.

Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 45 kilometers (25 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 260 kilometers (140 nautical miles). NALGAE is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 630 kilometers (340 nautical miles).

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

SUNDAY MORNING:  Weakens to a Category 1 Typhoon as it moves across the West Philippine Sea, farther away from Luzon [8AM OCT 02: 16.9N 117.8E @ 160kph].
MONDAY MORNING:  Exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as it moves toward Hainan Island [8AM OCT 03: 17.3N 114.0E @ 130kph].
TUESDAY MORNING:  Approaching the Southeastern Coast of Hainan Island...just barely a Typhoon [8AM OCT 04: 17.6N 110.9E @ 120kph].


NALGAE's (QUIEL) CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH (CPA)*

BENGUET:  Passing north of Baguio City [ETA: 3:00-5:00 PM Today].
LA UNION:  Passing north of San Fernando City [ETA: 5:00-7:00 PM Tonight].

*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.


EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

NALGAE's (QUIEL's) compact but intense circulation continues to display a small 9-11-km eye emerging on satellite imageries awhile ago. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:


DECAYING EYEWALL - affecting and moving into Ifugao, Northern Nueva Vizcaya & later off Benguet. Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall).
INNER RAINBANDS - affecting and spreading across Central portions of Northern Luzon. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Northern & Central Luzon incl. Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, & Camarines Norte. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 100 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 101 to 350 mm (high) along areas near the center of NALGAE (QUIEL). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 4-5 ft [1.2-1.7 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Western Luzon particularly along La Union, Pangasinan & Ilocos Sur this afternoon through the evening.. Minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Luzon.
