    + Forecast Outlook: CONSON (BASYANG) is expected to continue tracking WNW to NW-ward across the South China Sea for the next 3 days...will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow morning [8AM JUL 15: 16.6N 115.6E @ 95kph]. The 4-Day Medium-Range Forecast shows the system making its final landfall on Saturday morning along Western Guangdong (Southern China) or about 370 km. west of Hong Kong [8AM JUL 17: 21.3N 110.8E @ 65kph]. 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 possibilities must be considered.

    + Effects & Hazards: CONSON's (BASYANG) outer rainbands will still continue to affect Northern Palawan, Calamian Group, Lubang Island & Mindoro - winds not exceeding 50 kph w/ light to moderate rainfall can be expected along these areas. Meanwhile, Metro Manila's skies will clear up later today as the storm moves farther away. 6-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 150 mm (light, moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 200 mm (heavy) near the center of CONSON.

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 4 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Southern Tagalog Provinces, Western Luzon, and Manila Bay. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge.

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

    *TROPICAL STORM (TS) 03W (CONSON) HAS CROSSED LUZON INTO THE SOUTH
    CHINA SEA AND INTENSIFIED SLIGHTLY AND IS NOW JUST TO THE WEST OF
    SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR (WV) IMAGERY SHOWS
    CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM REMAINS MOSTLY TO THE SOUTHWEST
    OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IN RESPONSE TO MODERATE
    NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). THE CURRENT POSITION IS
    BASED ON MULTIPLE MICROWAVE IMAGES INCLUDING A 132244Z SSMI-S PASS
    SHOWING AN EYE-LIKE FEATURE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON A
    UNIFIED DVORAK ESTIMATE FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD OF T3.5 (55 KNOTS).
    TS 03W CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
    THE WESTERN EXTENSION OF A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE TO THE
    NORTH. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS WELL SOUTH OF THE
    RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AS
    EVIDENCED ON THE WV ANIMATION AND ON MICROWAVE IMAGERY...
