Hazards affecting land:

  • Fung-wong is an extremely large and dangerous typhoon. It is expected to produce a very wide swath of typhoon conditions across almost the entire island of Luzon through Monday afternoon. Destructive winds and heavy rain are likely in these areas. This rainfall will likely cause widespread flooding, especially in mountainous areas. In addition, storm surge inundation is likely along eastward facing coasts of Luzon, the Bicol Region, and Catanduanes through later this morning, when the threat will shift to the westward facing coasts. This is a particularly dangerous situation – refer to products from your local weather office for additional information.

Discussion:

Fung-wong made landfall in Aurora between Baler and Casiguran at about 1225 UTC with an intensity of 115 kts (Category 4).

Since landfall, Fung-wong’s structure has rapidly decayed. The eye is no longer apparent in satellite imagery - there is a warm spot within the CDO over central Luzon but this is not the eye. In addition, increasing shear has caused some decoupling of Fung-wong’s low- and mid-level circulations, and the convection is slightly displaced to the north and west of the surface center. Despite losing some of its structure and coverage, the convection remains quite intense with high rainfall rates and very cold cloud tops, and the mid-level circulation remains quite robust with strong radial outflow channels. The intensity is lowered to 100 kts, based on expected decay from landfall and a CIMSS D-PRINT estimate of 101 kts.

Fung-wong should weaken more rapidly during the next 12 hours or so as the shear increases and land interaction continues to take its toll on the system. Although Fung-wong will exit off the western coast of Luzon on Monday morning, its large wind field will result in continued typhoon conditions over the western portions of Luzon through Tuesday as Fung-wong turns northward off the coast. Although SSTs are quite warm over the northern South China Sea, strong southerly to southwesterly shear combined with northeasterly cold surge flow at the surface should cause Fung-wong to continue weakening rapidly. The system should recurve toward the northeast and pass over Taiwan as a tropical storm on Thursday. Although there is a 120-hour forecast point, it is likely that Fung-wong will have dissipated in the East China Sea before that point.
