Daily weather brief – Friday, December 2, 2016

NWPAC outlook, 02 DEC

NORTH

Temperatures are moderating a bit over inland Asia as high pressure remains in charge over the region. The latest frontal system how moved offshore to the east along with a strong storm system to the north, which is helping bring in a strong northwesterly flow to the Japanese archipelago. Sea-effect snowfall is possible along western shores of the country, as well as in higher elevations of the central Japanese Alps, but as the air comes down the mountains on the east side it dries out considerably. A few clouds will linger over north-central China as a weak pulse of energy moves through. The remainder of the region will see fair to partly cloudy skies and cool early winter temperatures.

CENTRAL

High pressure continues to build southward into the central region behind the latest surge to push through the region. The strong northwesterly flow will pump in moisture across Taiwan, where the quick rise in elevation will help squeeze out some orographically-induced showers. Cloudy skies will dominate offshore locales, and clouds and showers are also likely in the higher terrain of south-central China. Temperatures will be comfortably mild across the region with readings in the lower 20’s (low 70’s F).

SOUTH

Drier air has settled in over the northern half of the south region as high pressure to the north builds in. Temperatures will remain quite warm over the region because the cooler element of the air mass remains locked in farther north of the region. A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible in the southwestern reaches of the region as a weak tropical disturbance, designated 99W INVEST, moves slowly to the west across the Malay Peninsula.

TROPICS

One weak disturbance has popped up in the far western reaches of the tropics while the remainder of the region will see a typically warm and humid day.

TAAG, 02 DEC

99W INVEST has been designated over the Malay Peninsula as it tracks slowly to the west, into the Indian Ocean. This system will have no effect on the western Pacific basin, but could become a formidable late-season tropical storm for portions of India later next week.

99W, 02 DEC

The remainder of the tropics will see a very warm day with plenty of moisture and heat helping generate scattered showers and thunderstorms across the majority of locations.

Have a fabulous Friday!
