SUPER TYPHOON GORING EXITS THE PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR)
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall
- Forecast amassed rainfall from tonight to tomorrow evening
- 50-100 mm: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Abra, and the western portions of Pangasinan and Apayao
- Forecast rainfall are generally higher in elevated or mountainous areas. Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas which can be highly or very highly vulnerable to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days.
- The improved Southwest Monsoon may also bring occasional or monsoon rains over the western portions of Luzon, and Visayas over the following three days. For more information, discuss with Weather Advisory #13 for Southwest Monsoon issued at 11:00 PM today.
Severe Winds
- The improved Southwest Monsoon will proceed to bring gusty conditions over the next areas not under any Wind Signal, especially in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds:
- Today until Friday: Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Bulacan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and the northern portion of Eastern Visayas.
- Saturday: Zambales, Bataan, Bulacan, Aurora, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and the northern portion of Eastern Visayas.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
- A Gale Warning is in effect for many seaboards of Luzon and Visayas, and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. Disruption in civilian maritime activities is predicted over these areas (e.g., suspension of sea travel) resulting from hazardous sea condition. For more information, discuss with Gale Warning #15 issued at 5:00 PM today.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
- Outside the PAR, GORING is forecast to follow a mainly west northwestward path across the waters off Guangdong, China, then turn generally west southwestward or southwestward for the rest of the forecast period. On the track forecast, this tropical cyclone will likely be closest to land (i.e., near Hong Kong or Pearl River Delta) by Saturday morning, with a landfall scenario not ruled out resulting from the proximity of the track forecast to land and the associated uncertainty at this era of the forecast.
- GORING will begin to regularly weaken tomorrow evening because it begins to maneuver over the waters off Guangdong China. Increasingly unfavorable conditions (e.g., cooler waters, entrainment of dry air from mainland China, interaction with land resulting from its proximity to it) will sustain the weakening trend. GORING is forecast to be downgraded to a severe tropical storm on Saturday and right into a tropical storm on Sunday.
