Babuyan
Calayan Islands
Ilocos Norte
Apayao
Signal No.2 (60-100 km/h winds) in:
Ilocos Sur

Super Typhoon Melor moved north-northwest 285 degrees at 26 km/h during the last 6 hours.
Maximum sustained winds of 260 km/h near center and gusts of up to incredible 315 km/h.
MELOR's circulation remains very organized, exhibiting a clear, cloud-free, 55-km. wide eye. This extremely powerful system is not yet affecting any major Pacific Islands at this time. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 200 mm (moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along MELOR's rainbands with isolated accumulations of more than 400 mm (extreme rain) near the center of the storm.

( 3.1 / 16 )Typhoon PARMA (PEPENG) weakened further after crossing Northern Luzon last night. Now it is off the NW coast of Ilocos Norte but still producing typhoon conditions across Ilocos Provinces and parts of Apayao and Calayan Island Group.
... and then?
2 scenarios are possible:
Scenario 1: PARMA is expected to slow down as it enters weak steering flow...it shall drift slowly NNW, Northward then NNE (clockwise motion) for the next 2 days. The 3 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows the system slowly moving ESE to Eastward due to Direct Cyclone Interaction (DCI) (aka. Fujiwhara Effect) with Typhoon MELOR (20W), currently located 2,410 km. to the ESE. This scenario is still complicated at this time.
Scenario 2: There's a possibility that PARMA will track West to WSW into the South China Sea and no longer interacts with MELOR if the current High Pressure ridge over China strengthens and become the dominant steering factor for Typhoon PARMA. However, this scenario remains poor at this time.
