NANMADOL/14W/MINA's southwestern thick rainbands continue to cover the entire Central/Southern Luzon including Bicol Region, Quezon Province and Samar. A new forecast has been issued where MINA shall no longer merge with 97W. Instead, Both storm systems shall move northward slowly over the next several days making MINA slightly closer to Luzon. MINA shall hover to the east of Northern Luzon and Taiwan between 26 and 31 August and shall move to the northeast passing to the south of Japan by 02 September.

Expect rains and gusts over these areas. The system shall remain over the Eastern Philippine Sea at least until the end of this month. The system shall reach Category 3 Typhoon Status on 27 August and shall continue to intensify with peak wind gusts of 230 kph. The Southwest Moonsoon shall, once again, be pulled by this system bringing fair to rainy and windy conditions across the Philippines. Beware of flashfloods and landslides.

As of this forecast, there is 40% LANDFALL THREAT to the Philippines. If MINA continues with its erratic movement and suddenly veers more to the west closer to Luzon, PAGASA might issue Storm Signals in their upcoming advisories. Stay tuned.
