Forecast Highlights	TY MAN-YI (TOMAS) is far away to directly affect any part of the Philippines.  This typhoon is expected to continue losing strength beginning today through Monday due to the surge of cold air from the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan). The WPF's 24-hour Forecast shows it entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) late this afternoon or tonight and moving WNW to NW across the North Philippine Sea, weakening into a Severe Tropical Storm (STS) on Monday morning.  The confidence of this forecast remains MEDIUM (35-65% chance). The presence of this Tropical Cyclone will enhance the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) and bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with some passing rain showers along the northern and eastern sections of Luzon. The next StormWatch Update will be issued after 24 hours or by Monday morning (Nov 26).
