FORECAST ANALYSIS AND EFFECTS:
The eye wall replacement cycle combined with cooler sea surface temperature and increased vertical wind shear shall weaken the system rapidly as it tracks out of the PAR and into Okinawa, Japan. CHEDENG shall be out of the country by 28 May. Extra tropical transition is also expected beginning 30 May. It is shall to recurve to the northeast missing Taiwan.
Chedeng shall be in the vicinity of Okinawa sometime during the night of 28 May or early morning of 29 May and shall move northeast towards the Ryukyu Islands at midnight or early morning of 29 May. Expect stormy weather in these areas over the weekend.
Expect rough to very rough sea conditions along these areas. FISHING BOATS AND OTHER SMALL SEACRAFTS ARE ADVISED NOT TO VENTURE OUT INTO THE SEA WHILE LARGER SEA VESSELS ARE ALERTED AGAINST BIG WAVES.
In the Bicol region, the rest of Visayas and Mindanao, improving weather condition is now prevailing as Super Typhoon CHEDENG continues to move away.
Forecast models are still in excellent agreement with a NO LANDFALL Scenario in the Philippines for Typhoon SONGDA/CHEDENG. However, different results in the extended forecasts (30 May and 31 May) were generated with some models bringing CHEDENG over Japan while the other models favoring an open water scenario just South of Japan. CHEDENG shall continue to accelerate later in the forecast between 27 to 31 May and eventually lose its strength.
P.S.
CHEDENG(Songda) is a strong and dangerous storm. If this hits land, it would be a deadly catastrophe. The public and the disaster coordinating councils concerned are advised to take appropriate actions and precautionary measures.
