Hazards affecting land:

  • Although Fung-wong is now over water, it remains an extremely large tropical cyclone. Typhoon force winds are continuing to occur along the western coast of northern Luzon, while tropical storm force winds are continuing to occur over much of the rest of Luzon. These conditions will likely spread over portions of southeastern China, possibly including Hong Kong, and the Batanes and Babuyan Islands and southern Taiwan late tonight or early Tuesday. For additional information, refer to products from your local weather office.

Discussion:

Fung-wong has completed its trek across northern and central Luzon, and stronger shear and land interaction have taken their toll on the typhoon’s structure. The inner core has decreased dramatically in size, and the eye has become irregularly shaped with an opening in the southern and eastern eyewall. The central dense overcast has also become very fragmented, with warming cloud tops in pretty much the entirety of the CDO except for the southwestern quadrant, which is continuing to produce intense convection. The CDO and wind field remain extremely large, with scatterometer data showing 30-kt winds extending almost halfway across the South China Sea. The intensity is lowered to a potentially generous 85 kts, based on Dvorak fixes ranging from T4.5 to T5.0 and hedged between automated estimates ranging from 74 to 90 kts. 

Fung-wong has turned toward the northwest as it begins its gradual recurvature into a weakness in the ridge resulting from an upper-level trough over the East China Sea. The cyclone should gradually turn northward and slow down somewhat later today as steering currents weaken. Although Fung-wong is over warm SSTs, moderate to strong shear as well as the cyclone’s current lack of structure will likely preclude any restrengthening. Gradual weakening is likely during the next day or two before Fung-wong begins interacting with the northeast monsoon, which should begin eroding the rest of its convection and cause rapid weakening. The forecast track has been shifted a bit to the west of the previous one and now shows Fung-wong entering the Taiwan Strait before passing over northern Taiwan on Wednesday. Although the JTWC and JMA forecast tracks continue past Taiwan, an increasing amount of the model guidance shows Fung-wong rapidly decaying into a trough just as it moves over the island. Because of this, the forecast below indicates dissipation after 96 hours.
