00:00At Cog 9, we are watching Bagyong Ophel.
00:03We will have her live this morning, Ms. Chanel Dominguez,
00:06weather specialist from Pagasa.
00:08Ms. Chanel, good morning.
00:10Good morning to all of you and good morning to all of our listeners.
00:14Is there a chance for Bagyong Ophel to rise again?
00:17We can see that our forecast track has a high cone of uncertainty,
00:22so it's possible that it will landfall or it's also possible that it won't.
00:26But even if it doesn't landfall or it does landfall,
00:30we are just reminding our countrymen, especially here in Northern Luzon,
00:35to expect a strong effect from this Bagyong Ophel,
00:39especially since it's a typhoon category.
00:42Ophel is still far away, but it's already a typhoon.
00:45Is it still possible for it to become a super typhoon before it landfalls here in the Philippines?
00:49We are not removing the possibility because as you said,
00:53it's still in the ocean and favorable conditions are also in the ocean
00:58for intensifying the typhoons,
01:00so we are not removing the possibility that it will become a super typhoon.
01:05If there is a typhoon now,
01:07what is possible that will change the momentum or strength of this Bagyong Ophel?
01:11If we remember, the typhoon wind is a cold wind.
01:16What our typhoons do is that it forms in hot air.
01:21There is an interaction between the hot and cold wind
01:24and the typhoons.
01:25Our typhoons are weakening
01:27and this is lowering the canal track,
01:30especially those that are affected by the Pisang Tayas area or Mindanao area.
01:35It looks like the typhoons are lined up
01:38because we still have another typhoon that is being monitored in the Pacific Ocean.
01:41When is it?
01:42Is the chance of it landing in the PAR high?
01:46Yes, we released the Tropical Cyclone Advisory at 5 a.m.
01:51Here in Tropical Storm Manil,
01:53it is an international name.
01:55When it enters our Philippine Area of Responsibility,
01:58we will call it Pipito.
02:00According to our first Tropical Cyclone Advisory,
02:03it is also possible that Pipito will land in our Bagyong.
02:08Ms. Chanel, this is the last question.
02:10Aside from Nika, Ophel, and Pipito,
02:12are there any other typhoons that we will see in the near future?
02:17As of now, we have not seen any.
02:19I hope Pipito will be the last.
02:22Thank you very much and good morning.
02:24Chanel Dominguez, weather specialist in Pagasa.
02:26Take care.
