TYPHOON Hanna is forecast to move west northwestward or westward while intensifying until it makes landfall along the east coast of southern Taiwan on late Sunday. Considerable weakening is expected as a result of Hanna crossing the rugged landmass of Taiwan.
On the forecast track, Hanna will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility and emerge over the Taiwan Strait around Monday morning or afternoon.
Outside the PAR region, Hannais forecast to move erratically and may even become slow-moving or almost stationary over the Taiwan Strait while continuously weakening due to land interaction and increasingly unfavorable environment. By Wednesday or Thursday, Hannawill have weakened into a tropical depression
