Daily weather brief – Monday, January 2, 2017

NWPAC outlook, 02 JAN

NORTH

Generally air and cool weather will kick off the first work week of 2017 across the north region today. Weak impulses of energy are pushing through the eastern portion of the region, as high pressure builds in from the northwest. Fog and haze, along with very poor air quality, will afflict parts of central northern China, while the remainder of the region enjoys just a few scattered clouds. Temperatures will be coldest in the extreme north while, to the south and east, readings will be quite mild for early January.

CENTRAL

Temperatures are warming up significantly across the central region, as high pressure associated with the coldest air stays well to the north and the warm sunshine heats things up through partly cloudy skies. Northern Indochina could see some foggy conditions and low clouds, while the remainder of the region enjoys abundant sunshine and scattered clouds.

SOUTH

Dry air and abundant sunshine over central Indochina will allow temperatures to soar over the area this afternoon, while the remainder of the region sees more seasonable readings. Moisture is confined to the most southerly locations of Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and the southern Philippines, where remnant moisture from 94W will help provide fuel for afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

TROPICS

The tropics are mostly quiet, with the exception of weak activity in the westernmost reaches of the region.

TAAG, 02 JAN

94W INVEST has petered out over the southern Philippines, but the N.R.L. (Naval Research Laboratory) has designated an area of disturbed weather southeast of Palau as 95W INVEST. Current forecast models are mixed on this system, but the general thought is that the system will remain weak and impact portions of the southern Philippines with rainfall later this weekend. For more details on the tropical outlook, please check the “Western Pacific Tropical Update” by meteorologist Mike Adcock on the website.

The remainder of the tropics are mostly quiet, with scattered pockets of energy along a weak I.T.C.Z. south of 10 degrees latitude. Locales north of this latitude will see partly cloudy skies as continental air masses continue to infiltrate the area.

Have a marvelous Monday!
