Typhoon Phanfone moved away from the Philippines on Wednesday after bringing wind and rain to the central Philippines.\u00a0 At 10:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday the center of Typhoon Phanfone was located at latitude 13.2\u00b0N and longitude 118.3\u00b0E which put it about 190 miles (310 km) west-southwest of Manila, Philippines.\u00a0 Phanfone was moving toward the west-northwest at 9 m.p.h. (15 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 90 m.p.h. (145 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 115 m.p.h. (185 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 975 mb.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Phanfone weakened earlier on Wednesday.\u00a0 The core of Phanfone moved over southern Mindoro and the typhoon weakened when the circulation was disrupted by the mountains.\u00a0 Satellite imagery suggested that the circulation around Typhoon Phanfone might be reorganizing on Wednesday night.\u00a0 A small circular eye reappeared on visible satellite images.\u00a0 Thunderstorms in the eyewall were growing taller.\u00a0 Storms around the core of Phanfone were generating upper level divergence which was pumping mass away from the typhoon.\u00a0 Winds to typhoon force extended out 40 miles (65 km) north of the center of circulation and out 20 miles (30 km) south of the center.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 100 miles (160 km) from the center of Phanfone.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Phanfone will move through an environment capable of supporting a typhoon for another 24 hours.\u00a0 Phanfone will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move through a region where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 In about 24 hours Typhoon Phanfone will reach an area where winds near the surface are blowing from the northeast.\u00a0 Those winds will bring drier air which will get pulled into the circulation around Phanfone.\u00a0 Typhoon Phanfone will weaken when the drier air enters its circulation.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Phanfone will move south of a subtropical high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high will steer Phanfone toward the west-northwest.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Typhoon Phanfone will move across the South China Sea and it will move farther away from the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
