LPA 97W (ONYOK) StormWatch No. 01
The strong Tropical Disturbance 97W (LPA) [ONYOK] over Caroline Islands has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as it eyes to become a Tropical Cyclone within the next 06 to 24 hours. Based on the initial Global Dynamic Forecast Models (GDFM), 97W is likely to become a Tropical Depression as it nears Mindanao, however, unfavorable conditions could dissipate the system as shown on the models.
As of 8:00 PM PhT (12:00 GMT) today, Wednesday, December 16, 2015, the center of the LPA was located some 806 km East-Southeast of Bislig City, Surigao Del Sur or 859 km Southeast of Siargao Island [7.7N 133.6E]...with maximum sustained winds of 35 kph near the center and gustiness up to 55 kph. It was moving West-Northwest at 26 kph towards Eastern Mindanao.
LPA 97W is still far away to directly affect any part of the Philippines.
