Tropical Storm WASHI (1121/27W) has moved west-northwest and has entered the Sulu Sea… There are signs of weakening as the storm accelerates… Cloud top temperatures of a small region of convection near the centre are around -70 degrees Celsius…
Environmental conditions are still favourable for intensification… WASHI may gain strength again within the next day… Later as WASHI heads further to the west… intense northeasterly shear will cause a decrease in the storm’s intensity…
WASHI will move westward across Palawan and the South China Sea… then it should make a west-southwestward turn and approach Malaysia…
Heavy rain has taken nearly 200 lives in Mindanao… People in that region should pay attention to the local warnings from PAGASA…
