Typhoon Jenny slightly weakens and commences its West Northwestward turn towards Southern Taiwan, Pagasa reported on its latest severe weather bulletin.
Forecast rainfall are generally higher in elevated or mountainous areas. Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are possible especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days.
In addition, Jenny will continue to enhance the Southwest Monsoon and bring occasional rains over the western portions of Luzon in the next 3 days.
The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone. Local winds may be slightly stronger/enhanced in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind direction.
The enhancement of the Southwest Monsoon by JENNY will bring gusty conditions for the next 3 days over the following areas not under any Wind Signal, especially in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds:
Typhoon Jenny slightly weakens
- Today: The southern portion of Aurora, Bataan, Metro Manila, Occidental Mindoro, Kalayaan Islands, Romblon, most of CALABARZON, and portions of Bicol Region.
- Tomorrow: The southern portion of Aurora, Romblon, and portions of CALABARZON and Bicol Region.
Jenny has commenced its west northwestward turn. It is forecast to move west northwestward in the next 12 hours, then westward thereafter. On the track forecast, the typhoon will make landfall over the southern portion of Taiwan tomorrow morning, then exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow afternoon or evening. Outside the PAR region, JENNY will continue moving westward slowly over the Taiwan Strait and the coastal waters of southeastern China.
The weakening trend is forecast to continue due to the increasing dry air entrainment and vertical wind shear. Land interaction during its passage over the rugged terrain of southern Taiwan will further weaken the typhoon. Once over the Taiwan Strait, additional cool dry air from the north will entrain into JENNY, resulting in continued weakening.
