Week One (1) Forecast: NOVEMBER 21-27, 2012 [Wednesday to Tuesday] 

An increased chance for below-average rainfall for Northern and Central
Philippines (from Luzon down to the Visayas). Approaching dry-phase of the
Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), shallower warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs),
and weak ITCZ supports decreased rainfall over the region.

Week Two (2) Forecast: NOV 28-DEC 04, 2012 [Wednesday to Tuesday] 

[1] An increased chance for average rainfall for the Philippines. Inter-Tropical
Convergence Zone (ITCZ) off Southern Philippines, presence of the NE Monsoon
(Amihan) affecting Eastern Luzon, deeper warm sea-surface temperatures support
normal rainfall across the region. Confidence: HIGH.

[2] An increased chance for Tropical Cyclogenesis for Micronesia & the Western
Pacific Ocean. Near-Equatorial ITCZ, light upper-level winds, Deeper warm sea surface
temperatures (SSTs), and some numerical weather forecast guidance models favor
potential tropical cyclone development during this period. Confidence: MODERATE.
