What I will say is that the track forecast is extremely difficult. The mountainous portions of northern Luzon, from what I have heard from Steve (Aslkahuna), is not a good place to chase. Latest model guidance plus trends suggest that Mitag is about 48 hours away from landfall in Luzon. Though guidance suggests landfall somewhere in the mountainous regions of northern Luzon, current trends argue for a more south shift later tonight. PAGASA's track goes through the Bicol region. JTWC's track is on the southern portion of the guidance envelope, with landfall in the Calabarzon province (north of the PAGASA track). JMA's track is right in the middle of the guidance envelope with landfall in northern Luzon.

Mitag has finally slowed down considerably. Latest 00z JMA forecast shows landfall in just over 48 hours at 75kts on mountainous and remote region of Luzon.

Going by that forecast it would make an extremely difficult intercept.

I have blown off this intercept - the lack of roads means that it will be too tough!.

Anyway 1,000,000 people are now on the move.

World weather impacts
Mitag evacuation operation extended
23 Nov 2007
The government in the Philippines has widened its evacuation operation ahead of the arrival of Typhoon Mitag.

AFP reported on November 23rd that Mitag, which has sustained winds of 108 miles per hour, will hit either the Bicol region or Quezon province the following day.

However, a civil defence spokesman predicted the typhoon's rain path would cover three-quarters of the country and warned that those not directly hit by the typhoon are likely to experience heavy rain.

The government's initial plan to evacuate around 200,000 people from coastal areas has been extended to include around one million people because of uncertainty about where exactly Mitag will strike and concerns about its extent.

Some really intense rainfall occurring over Luzon right now:

Could be a very severe mudslide situation developing.

Jeez, that's bad. Fortunately, it's unlikely there will be excessive casualties, but it's still quite troubling. In addition, this will most likely be all that is the wrath of Mitag; after this, there's nowhere left for him to go.

Down to an STS, looking like it may become extratropical soon...
