TYPHOON TRAMI (MARING) UPDATE NUMBER 011
Issued: 6:00 AM PhT (22:00 GMT) Wednesday 21 August 2013
Next Update: 6:00 PM PhT (10:00 GMT) Wednesday 21 August 2013


TRAMI (MARING) has intensified into a Typhoon as it quickly moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) after passing Miyako Islands early this morning.

This typhoon will continue to induce the Southwest Monsoon (Hanging Habagat) - bringing cloudy and windy conditions with "on-and-off" slight to moderate to sometimes heavy rains across the western sections of Luzon and Visayas...becoming more frequent along Occidental Mindoro, the National Capital Region (Metro Manila), Bataan, Zambales, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon and Ilocos Region today. Flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes.


Meanwhile, Tropical Storm (TS) PEWA (01C) has maintained its strength while moving rapidly across the open seas of the Western Pacific Ocean. Latest dynamic forecast models continues to show the system moving generally northwestward for the next 2 days. Its center was located about 605 km east-southeast of Wake Island or 5,125 km east-northeast of the Philippines (18.5N Lat 172.3E Lon)...with maximum winds of 85 km/hr near the center...moving NW @ 28 kph. This storm is too far away to affect any part of the Philippines.

Residents and visitors along Taiwan and Southeastern China should closely monitor the development of Trami (Maring).

CURRENT STORM ANALYSIS

As of 5:00 am today, the eye of Typhoon Trami (Maring) was located over the East China Sea...about 355 km east of Taipei, Taiwan or 620 km north-northeast of Basco, Batanes...currently moving northwest with an increased forward speed of 30 km/hr towards Southeastern China.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to 120 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. Tropical Storm Force Winds (63-100 km/hr) extend outward up to 185 kilometers from the center. Trami (Maring) remains a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 720 kilometers across. The 24-hour rainfall accumulation near the center of Trami (Maring) is estimated to be heavy (300 mm).


2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*

Typhoon Trami (Maring) is expected to move west-northwestward during the next 48 hours. On the forecast track, the core of Trami (Maring) will be passing just to the north of Taiwan later this afternoon...and will make landfall over Fujian Province, just north of Fuzhou City on Thursday morning. By Friday morning, Trami (Maring) will be over the eastern part of Hunan Province as it continues moving over land.

Trami (Maring) is still expected to slightly intensify during the next 12 hours...just before it makes landfall...and will start to weaken rapidly as the system moves over land, across Southeastern China. It will just be a remnant low pressure by Friday morning. Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows that Trami (Maring) could reach its highest sustained winds of 130 km/hr later today.

The following is the summary of the 2-day forecast outlook on this system:

THURSDAY MORNING: Making landfall over Southeastern China (Fujian Province)...about 65 km north of Fuzhou City, China [5AM AUG 22: 26.7N 119.3E @ 120kph].
FRIDAY MORNING: Moving over the eastern part of Hunan Province...just an area of low pressure dissipating over land...about 545 km north of Hong Kong, China [5AM AUG 23: 27.2N 113.9E @ 35kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Tracks have an average error of 100 and 250 km respectively...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.
