Typhoon Lupit is forecast to strike the Philippines at about 00:00 GMT on 21 October. Data supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center suggest that the point of landfall will be near 18.1 N, 122.5 E. Lupit is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of around 231 km/h (143 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably higher.

According to the Saffir-Simpson damage scale the potential property damage and flooding from a storm of Lupit's strength (category 4) at landfall includes:

* Storm surge generally 4.0-5.5 metres (13-18 feet) above normal.
* Curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences.
* Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down.
* Complete destruction of mobile homes.
* Extensive damage to doors and windows.
* Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the centre of the storm.
* Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore.
* Terrain lower than 3 metres (10 feet) above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 10 km (6 miles).

There is also the potential for flooding further inland due to heavy rain.

The information above is provided for guidance only and should not be used to make life or death decisions or decisions relating to property. Anyone in the region who is concerned for their personal safety or property should contact their official national weather agency or warning centre for advice.

I hope that Typhoon Lupit will live up to its name once it hits land. :armysad:

israeli - October 19, 2009 03:00 AM (GMT)
Typhoon Lupit (Ramil), a huge Category 5 Super Typhoon (maximum sustained wins of 250 kilometers per hour), is now following a southwesterly direction, heading towards areas of Northern and Central Luzon.

fatbat_mca - October 19, 2009 03:07 AM (GMT)
freakin freak ass typhoon, I hope the NDCC is prepared this time.

:armyeek:

israeli - October 19, 2009 07:34 AM (GMT)
PAGASA is, still, way too conservative in predicting the actual wind speed and gustiness of Lupit (Ramil) while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the Japan Meteorological Agency and other weather bureaus and monitoring agencies already consider it a Category 5 Super Typhoon that has maximum sustained winds of 250 kilometers per hour.

one thing is certain though: Lupit (Ramil) is heading towards extreme Northern Luzon.

MANILA, Philippines – Days before typhoon “Ramil” is expected to make landfall in the country, all local chief executives have been told to prepare their respective evacuation and disaster rescue plans for residents in typhoon-prone areas.

Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno issued the statement on Monday, particularly in provinces in the regions of central and northern Luzon, particularly Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Kalinga, Apayao and Batanes group of islands.

Puno instructed local executives in these provinces to implement their evacuation plans as early as now, as “Ramil” is expected to make a landfall in the country in the next two days.

Puno, citing information obtained from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), said that “Ramil” packed winds of up to 175 kilometers per hour and is expected to hit Cagayan either Wednesday or Thursday.

Puno said that evacuation plans should consist of “disaster related operations such as early warning systems, relief and rehabilitation operations, including effective monitoring of prices and supply of basic commodities in their localities.”

He also urged all local officials to closely coordinate their efforts with the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police and other government agencies.

TYPHOON LUPIT [RAMIL/22W/0920]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 020
6:00 PM PST (10:00 GMT) Tue 20 October 2009
Source: T2K ANALYSIS / JTWC WARNING #026



Typhoon LUPIT (RAMIL) slowing down as it starts heading westward...currently undergoing an Eyewall Replacement Cycle (ERC)...no change in strength.

*Residents and visitors along the Island of Luzon (particularly Northern Luzon) should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).

*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: LUPIT is expected to slightly decelerate and turn more westerly to WSW-ward w/in the next 12 to 24 hours. Its wind speed will slighty strengthen back to Category 3 (185 kph) as it moves closer to Northern Luzon due to improved atmospheric conditions (warm ocean moisture & unstable air). The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT approaching the northern coast of Cagayan on a WSW direction, as the High Pressure Steering Ridge building off China strengthens and steer the dangerous typhoon. LUPIT shall make landfall over Northern Cagayan on early Thursday evening Oct 22...passing very close to the north of Aparri between 8-9PM Thu. It shall cross Apayao and exit thru Ilocos Norte-Sur Area on Friday afternoon Oct 23, between 2-3PM...and over the South China Sea on Saturday morning, Oct 24. The typhoon shall turn westward while over the South China Sea, in the direction of Hainan Island-Vietnam Area on Sunday Oct 25. *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a possibility that LUPIT might track Westward passing thru the Balintang Channel and spare Cagayan & Ilocos Norte from a direct hit. This scenario is likely if the high pressure steering ridge located off Eastern China weakens. The probability of this alternate forecast still remains fair. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a shift to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

+ Effects: LUPIT's large circulation has become slightly stable. The eye remains cloud-filled as undergoes an Eyewall Replacement as shown on current satellite images. Its outer & inner rain bands remains at sea...not yet affecting any major islands at this time. LUPIT may begin to affect Northern Luzon tomorrow afternoon or evening (Oct 21) - if the forecast movement continues...deteriorating weather conditions expected. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 75 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated accumulations of 400 mm or more (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT particularly along its projected path.

[Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, effects, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!]

This scenario is likely as some models deviates from the abovementioned forecast. The probability of this alternate forecast has increased, so a possible shift can happen. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

+ Effects: LUPIT's Eyewall Replacement Cycle has ended, now shows a large eyewall, with still a cloud-filled EYE...its over-all circulation has slightly improved. The outer & inner rain bands remains at sea...not yet affecting any major islands at this time.

*Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon & Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).


*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: LUPIT is expected to decelerate as it tracks WSW w/in the next 12 to 24 hours. Its wind speed will slightly strengthen back to Category 2 (165 kph) as it moves closer to the coast of Northeastern Luzon due to improved atmospheric conditions (warm ocean moisture & unstable air). The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT making landfall over the northern tip of Cagayan on Friday afternoon, Oct 23 approx. 2-3PM as it barely moves Westward. It shall continue moving ona slow trek across the Northern portions of Cagayan, Apayao and Ilocos Norte throughout Saturday Oct 24. The core shall be off Laoag City early Sunday morning Oct 25 at around 2-3AM as a weakened Tropical Storm. By Monday morning, Oct 26, LUPIT shall be moving slowly across the South China Sea, away from Ilocos Norte, re-strengthening back to a minimal Typhoon. *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a strong possibility that LUPIT might track Westward passing thru the Balintang Channel and spare Cagayan & Ilocos Norte from a direct hit, then move WNW to NW-ward towards Taiwan or SE China. This scenario is likely as some models deviates from the abovementioned current forecast. The probability of this alternate forecast remains high. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered. So please stay tuned.

+ Effects: LUPIT's circulation remains organized & large with a cloud-filled EYE. The outer & inner rain bands remains at sea...not yet affecting any major islands at this time, however, LUPIT may begin to affect Extreme Northern Luzon beginning tonight - if the forecast movement continues...deteriorating weather conditions can be expected within the next 36 to 72 hours. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 75 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated accumulations of 400 mm or more (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT particularly along its projected path. 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 Extreme Northern Luzon especially along Cagayan, Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group, Isabela & Ilocos Norte. Very 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 Northern Luzon & Taiwan.

Typhoon LUPIT (RAMIL) slows down as it nears the coast of Cagayan...outer rainbands affecting Cagayan, Isabela & Aurora.


*Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon & Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).

*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: LUPIT is expected to decelerate further to just 4 kph while moving WSW w/in the next 24 to 36 hours. Its wind speed will slightly strengthen back to minimal Category 2 (160 kph) as it moves closer to the coast of Cagayan due to improved atmospheric conditions (warm ocean moisture & unstable air). The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT making landfall over the northern tip of Cagayan Saturday morning, Oct 24 and shall turn westward slowly. It shall continue moving on a slow trek across the Northern coastal areas of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte throughout the weekend until Monday Oct 26. LUPIT shall be off Northern Coast of Ilocos Norte late Monday evening as a downgraded Tropical Storm. *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a strong possibility that LUPIT might track abruptly Northward and recurving towards Southern Japan, sparing Extreme Northern Luzon on a direct hit. This scenario is likely as half of the many models deviates from the existing forecast. The probability of this alternate forecast remains high. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered. So please stay tuned.

+ Effects: LUPIT's circulation remains organized & large with a cloud-filled EYE. The core and its inner rainbands remains at sea...however, its outer rainbands has been already affecting Cagayan, Isabela & Aurora since last night. Cloudy skies w/ light passing rains & winds not exceeding 55 kph can be expected along the outer bands.

TYPHOON LUPIT [RAMIL/22W/0920]
T2K PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 025
12:00 PM PST (04:00 GMT) Thu 22 October 2009
Source: T2K ANALYSIS / JTWC WARNING #033


Typhoon LUPIT (RAMIL) slowed down further near the NE coast of Cagayan...new forecast shows a turn to the WNW to NW in the coming days, and may spare Cagayan on a direct hit.

*Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon & Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).


*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: LUPIT is expected to continue decelerating further to just 2 kph while moving WSW w/in the next 24 to 36 hours. Its wind speed will slightly strengthen back to minimal Category 2 (160 kph) as it moves closer to the coast of Cagayan due to improved atmospheric conditions (warm ocean moisture & unstable air). The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT turning west to WNW-ward slowly into the Balintang Channel, passing very close to the Northern coastal areas of Cagayan on Monday until Tuesday (Oct 26-27). *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a strong possibility that LUPIT might track abruptly Northward and recurving towards Southern Japan, sparing Extreme Northern Luzon. This scenario is likely as half of the many models deviates from the existing forecast. The probability of this alternate forecast remains high. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered. So please stay tuned.

+ Effects: LUPIT's circulation remains organized & large with a cloud-filled EYE. The core and its inner rainbands remains at sea...however, its outer rainbands continues to affect Cagayan, Isabela & Aurora since last night. Cloudy skies w/ light passing rains & winds not exceeding 55 kph can be expected along the outer bands. Deteriorating weather conditions is likely if the forecast track pushes through in the coming days. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 75 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated accumulations of 400 mm or more (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT particularly along its projected path. 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 Extreme Northern Luzon especially along Cagayan, Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group, Isabela & Ilocos Norte. Very 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 Northern Luzon & Taiwan.

6:00 PM PST (10:00 GMT) Thu 22 October 2009
Source: T2K ANALYSIS / JTWC WARNING #034


LUPIT (RAMIL) loses strength, barely a Typhoon as it continues moving very slowly. High hopes are now on all forecast models as the system may likely track towards the north and spare Northern Luzon this weekend.

*Residents and visitors along Extreme Northern Luzon & Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of LUPIT (RAMIL).


*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: LUPIT is expected to continue decelerating further to just 2 kph while moving Westward w/in the next 24 to 48 hours. Its wind speed will slightly re-intensify as it moves closer near the coast of Cagayan. The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT still at a snail-pace motion as it begins turning WNW into the Balintang Channel, passing north of Cagayan on Monday until Tuesday (Oct 26-27). *Alternate Forecast Scenario: There is a strong possibility that LUPIT might track abruptly Northward and recurve towards Southern Japan, sparing Extreme Northern Luzon. The probability of this alternate forecast remains high, as majority of various numerical guidance models depicts this scenario. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered. So please stay tuned.

+ Effects: LUPIT's circulation has deteriorated during the past 6 hours. A surge of dry air entered the system along the northwest portion which caused the weakening to just minimal Typhoon intensity (120 kph). The core and its inner rainbands remains at sea with its outer rainbands continues to affect Cagayan, Isabela & Aurora. Cloudy skies w/ light passing rains & winds not exceeding 55 kph can be expected along these bands. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 75 up to 150 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated accumulations of 300 mm or more (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT particularly along its projected path. 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 Extreme Northern Luzon especially along Cagayan, Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group, Isabela & Ilocos Norte. Very 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 Northern Luzon & Taiwan.

*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: LUPIT's forecast has changed...now gearing towards the Alternate Forecast Scenario...expected to drift slowly towards the north for the next 24 hours. The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows LUPIT recurving to the NNE or NE slowly in the direction of Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands, as the steering high pressure ridge to its right becomes the dominant factor of pushing LUPIT poleward. The core shall be about 185 km. to the south of Okinawa, Japan on Wed Oct 28th as weakend tropical storm with winds of only 85 kph. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other conditions must be considered.

+ Effects: LUPIT's circulation has continued to weaken as strong dry air from the west affects the system. The core remains at sea, just east of Basco with its inner rainbands spreading across Batanes, Calayan Island and Cagayan. Light to moderate rains w/ tropical storm force winds not exceeding 85 kph can be expected along these bands. While the outer rainbands continues to affect the rest of Northern Luzon - where overcast skies along w/ light passing rains & gale-force winds not exceeding 60 kph can be expected. 24-hr total rainfall amounts of 25 to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along its rainbands...with isolated amounts of 300 to 500 mm (very heavy to extreme rain) near the center of LUPIT. 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 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Extreme Northern Luzon especially along Cagayan, Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group, Isabela & Ilocos Norte. Very 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 Northern Luzon & Taiwan.
