Tropical Storm Muifa has maintained it's strength as it moves toward the Northern Philippine Sea. Latest satellite imagery shows curved convective banding mostly found on the western and southern periphery of the Low Level Circulation Center (LLCC). Muifi is expected to intensify over the Northern Philippine Sea becoming a Typhoon status Saturday morning due to warm sea surface temperatures and increasingly favorable upper level environment. Latest numerical weather guidance models remain in good agreement for Philippines as it will not affect any part of the country running the system towards Southern, Japan. This system is expected to enhance the Southwest Monsoon that will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms over the western section of the archipelago.
Tropical Storm Nock-Ten continues to move faster...threatening to Hainan Island. Recent satellite imagery shows that deep central convection has persisted over the LLCC but continues to be slightly displaced to the south of the system. Nock-Ten is expected to weaken after crossing the Hainan Island.Re-intensification is possible due to the warm sea surface temperatures over the Gulf of Tonkin before making landfall for the final time near Central Vietnam Saturday night.
