W () PUBLIC ADVISORY # FORCE THIRTEEN , ...... SUMMARY OF INFORMATION ----------------------------------- LOCATION...NEAR ... MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...MPH...KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...MB WATCHES AND WARNINGS ----------------------------------- All warnings in Hong Kong and Macau have been discontinued or lowered. For Chinese Warnings, please visit the Official chinese warnings on this page.
DISCUSSION ----------------------------------- Cempaka... has continued its weakening trend as it remains inland and crosses the border of the provinces of Guangdong/Guanxi. A recent SSMIS pass and radar reflectivity data suggests the core has completely collapsed, and now only consists of a few convective/rain bands in the province of Guangdong. Dvorak analysis is unavailable at this time due to the system's center being overland. Due to the lack of surface observations and radar velocity data, the initial intesity is decreased using the current trend of both winds and pressure (55kts 989mb). Cempaka will continue its slow trek through southern China, and in a few days is forecast to reemerge over water in the South China Sea. The status and strength that Cempaka will have as it traverses back over water remains uncertain, therefore the future of impacts, steering, and intensification in the South China Sea is highly variable.
