GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD
Refer to Weather Advisory No. 17 issued at 5:00 AM today for the heavy rainfall outlook due to the Southwest Monsoon and Low Pressure Area.
Track and Intensity Outlook
• PULASAN is forecast to move generally north northeastward over the next 12 hours before turning northwestward from this afternoon to Wednesday afternoon (18 September). Afterwards, a west northwestward track is expected for the rest of the forecast period.
• PULASAN is forecast to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility around tomorrow evening (17 September) and may exit PAR around Wednesday morning. Changes in the forecast time of entry and exit is still likely depending on the movement of the weather disturbance in the next 12 hours.
• PULASAN is forecast to remain as a Tropical Storm throughout forecast period. However, the possibility of further intensification is not ruled out, considering that the weather disturbance is still over the Pacific Ocean.
• Having a similar track to that of BEBINCA (formerly “FERDIE”), current track scenario shows that the PULASAN will not directly affect any part of the country throughout the forecast period.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to continue monitoring for updates related to this tropical cyclone.
Unless there is an intermediate issuance, the next tropical cyclone advisory will be issued at 11:00 AM today.
