# View:
Advisory Archives (2004-2009) Typhoon MORAKOT (KIKO) has continued moving West during the past 3 hours...nears the coast of Eastern Taiwan...widespread rains and high winds expected across much of Taiwan...Landfall likely to the south of Hualien City before or after sunset today.
*Residents and visitors along Taiwan & Southeastern & Eastern China should closely monitor the progress of MORAKOT.
*Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.
+ Forecast Outlook: MORAKOT is expected to continue tracking west for the next 12 hours and intensify a little bit - reaching Category 2 status w/ 165-kph winds as it reaches the East coast of Taiwan this afternoon. The 3-day Medium-Range Forecast shows the system turning abruptly WNW-ward. The core (eye & eyewall) shall make landfall to the south Hualien, Taiwan before or after sunset and cross Central or Northern Taiwan passing close to the south of Metro Taipei around 6 AM tomorrow. MORAKOT is forecast to weaken after crossing the moountains of Taiwan and shall be off Taiwan Strait tomorrow afternoon. MORAKOT shall make its 2nd and final landfall over Southeastern China by early Sunday morning, Aug 9 - passing south or close to Fuzhou City (China). This typhoon shall rapidly dissipate on Sunday Aug 9 until Monday Aug 10 while hovering along the mountainous terrain of mainland China.
+ Effects: MORAKOT's large circulation continues to track westward with the emergence of an eye while approaching the east coast of Taiwan. The core (eye & eyewall) is now along the east coast of Taiwan as it prepares to make landfall. The storm's inner (rain) bands now spreading across much of Taiwan and Yaeyama Islands...with its outer (feeder) bands over coastal SE China and Taiwan Strait and the northernmost Philippine Islands of Batanes, Babuyan and Calayan. Violent winds of 60-100 kph w/ moderate to slightly heavy rains can be expected along its inner bands....and moderate to strong winds of 30-60 kph w/ occasional rains, squalls can be expected along the outer bands. Deteriorating weather conditions is likely over the whole of Taiwan late this afternoon until night time as the typhoon crosses the island nation. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 300 mm can be expected along the storm's inner and outer bands...with isolated accumulations of up to 500 mm near the center of MORAKOT and along mountain slopes on where the core is expected to pass. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Taiwan and Yaeyama Islands today. 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 Eastern & SE China.
+ Current SW Monsoon Intensity: STRONG >> Moderate to strong southwesterly winds not in excess of 65 kph with passing occasional showers or rains can be expected along the following affected areas: METRO MANILA, WESTERN LUZON, VISAYAS, MINDORO, AND PARTS OF SOUTHERN LUZON AND WESTERN BICOL. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.
+ Tropical Cyclone Watch:
(1) Another strong Tropical Disturbance 90W (LPA) has been spotted forming northwest of Northern Mariana Islands and is now the subject of a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) per JTWC analysis...currently located near lat 19.6N lon 140.6E...or about 585 km East of P.A.R. or 1,945 km East of Basco, Batanes...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 35 kph...drifting WNW while embedded within the eastern part of the active and broad Monsoon Trough (ITCZ).
This system is likely to become a Significant Tropical Cyclone within the next 06 to 24 hours.

*Residents and visitors along Taiwan & Southeastern & Eastern China should closely monitor the progress of MORAKOT.
*Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.
+ Forecast Outlook: MORAKOT is expected to continue tracking west for the next 12 hours and intensify a little bit - reaching Category 2 status w/ 165-kph winds as it reaches the East coast of Taiwan this afternoon. The 3-day Medium-Range Forecast shows the system turning abruptly WNW-ward. The core (eye & eyewall) shall make landfall to the south Hualien, Taiwan before or after sunset and cross Central or Northern Taiwan passing close to the south of Metro Taipei around 6 AM tomorrow. MORAKOT is forecast to weaken after crossing the moountains of Taiwan and shall be off Taiwan Strait tomorrow afternoon. MORAKOT shall make its 2nd and final landfall over Southeastern China by early Sunday morning, Aug 9 - passing south or close to Fuzhou City (China). This typhoon shall rapidly dissipate on Sunday Aug 9 until Monday Aug 10 while hovering along the mountainous terrain of mainland China.
+ Effects: MORAKOT's large circulation continues to track westward with the emergence of an eye while approaching the east coast of Taiwan. The core (eye & eyewall) is now along the east coast of Taiwan as it prepares to make landfall. The storm's inner (rain) bands now spreading across much of Taiwan and Yaeyama Islands...with its outer (feeder) bands over coastal SE China and Taiwan Strait and the northernmost Philippine Islands of Batanes, Babuyan and Calayan. Violent winds of 60-100 kph w/ moderate to slightly heavy rains can be expected along its inner bands....and moderate to strong winds of 30-60 kph w/ occasional rains, squalls can be expected along the outer bands. Deteriorating weather conditions is likely over the whole of Taiwan late this afternoon until night time as the typhoon crosses the island nation. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 300 mm can be expected along the storm's inner and outer bands...with isolated accumulations of up to 500 mm near the center of MORAKOT and along mountain slopes on where the core is expected to pass. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Taiwan and Yaeyama Islands today. 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 Eastern & SE China.
+ Current SW Monsoon Intensity: STRONG >> Moderate to strong southwesterly winds not in excess of 65 kph with passing occasional showers or rains can be expected along the following affected areas: METRO MANILA, WESTERN LUZON, VISAYAS, MINDORO, AND PARTS OF SOUTHERN LUZON AND WESTERN BICOL. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.
+ Tropical Cyclone Watch:
(1) Another strong Tropical Disturbance 90W (LPA) has been spotted forming northwest of Northern Mariana Islands and is now the subject of a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) per JTWC analysis...currently located near lat 19.6N lon 140.6E...or about 585 km East of P.A.R. or 1,945 km East of Basco, Batanes...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 35 kph...drifting WNW while embedded within the eastern part of the active and broad Monsoon Trough (ITCZ).
This system is likely to become a Significant Tropical Cyclone within the next 06 to 24 hours.
