Definitely getting concerned about the storm surge threat in... Baler Bay. Huge waves from Typhoon Fung-wong (UwanPH) are already crashing into the Aurora coastline of Luzon, and if the storm makes landfall just south of the bay, it could push a dangerous flow of seawater directly into Baler. Widespread reports are also indicating that substantial freshwater flash flooding is ongoing in multiple locations. Conditions across the northern Philippines will only continue to get worse from here on out.show more

Typhoon Fung-wong (UwanPH) is trying to form a gigantic... eye as frigidly frostbitten convection continues to shatter through higher and higher levels of the atmosphere. You know you’re looking at a genuine West Pacific colossus in the making when the storm’s cloud tops are so cold they’re maxing out the infrared satellite imagery scale.show more

UPDATE: With only a few hours left before landfall... in Luzon, colossal Typhoon Fung-wong (UwanPH) has hit a new peak intensity. Her sustained winds are now at 130 MPH (210 kph), and the sea-level pressure in her giant eye has fallen to 943 mbar, making her a CATEGORY 4 storm. This will be the strongest Typhoon to hit the Philippines since Man-yi (Pepito) in November of last year, and is coming just 5 days after Kalmaegi (Tino) ravaged Cebu Island.show more

What an intimidating sight Fung-wong (UwanPH) has become over... the Philippine Sea as her winds creep up to 65 mph (100 kph). The sprawling size of this budding West Pacific beast is creating an interesting dichotomy. On the one hand, it’s causing Fung-wong to take longer to organize and thus delaying a potential round of rapid intensification (limiting how strong she can get before striking Luzon). But, on the other hand, her larger radius will affect more people in the Philippines and possibly generate a greater storm surge risk near the location of landfall. Even in this latter scenario, which seems to be increasingly more likely, Fung-wong could still explode to a high-end Category 4 Typhoon. Either way, it’s a serious situation we have developing here tonight.show more

Typhoon Fung-wong is strengthening, making landfall in eastern Luzon... late Sunday (local time) as a very strong typhoon It is likely to become an equivalent category 3 or 4 and with 150–500mm of rain causing severe flooding Then heavy rain is likely in Taiwan early next weekshow more

At this time in 2024, the Philippines were in... the midst of a 10-DAY span in which they were struck by FOUR consecutive Typhoons. Now this year, the country is reeling from the effects of Kalmaegi (TinoPH) and Fung-wong (UwanPH) both making landfall within the last 5 days.show more

The eye of Fung-wong (UwanPH) is really starting to... melt through the icy shell of her CDO now. New, towering thunderstorms are rising up within the inner eyewall as well. On microwave imagery, the Typhoon’s cumbersome core structure is still yet to fully solidify. What we could see in the coming hours, especially after the Pacific sun evanesces below the horizon, is for this new burst of core thunderstorms to freeze the eyewall into a more complete and circular ring around the eye. That would likely jumpstart a true phase of rapid intensification right as Fung-wong enters her final approach to Luzon in the Philippines.show more

🇹🇼 At least 51 people have been injured in... Taiwan as Typhoon Fung-Wong sweeps across the island. Authorities evacuated more than 8,300 residents from coastal and mountain areas and closed schools as the tropical storm reached Taiwan’s southern regions. Earlier, Fung-Wong hit the Philippines as a super typhoon, causing floods, landslides, and killing at least 27 people. The storm has since weakened but continues to bring heavy rain and flooding. The worst-affected area is Hualien County, where floodwaters swept away a car, and rivers have already overflowed their banks.show more

🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES BRACES FOR ANOTHER SUPER TYPHOON Just days... after Typhoon Tino wrecked Cebu and killed over 200 people, another monster is on the way to the Philippines, and this one’s aiming for the island that holds Manila. Typhoon Fung-wong, locally named Uwan, is spinning with winds up to 185 kph and could slam into Luzon on Sunday night. The last storm left half a million people in the dark, with power outages across central islands that could take weeks to fix. A storm of that magnitude will likely tear through the nation's capital, where millions of people are barely coming to terms with the last typhoon. Source: Reutersshow more
