00:00The strength of the wind in the middle reaches 120 km per hour and the opening of the wind reaches 150 km per hour.
00:14The center of the storm is close to the ground.
00:18The distance of the center of the storm is 100 km east-southeast of Kaseguran Aurora.
00:26We still expect it to move in the direction west-northwestward or near the ground at a speed of 20 km per hour.
00:39Here is the track and intensity forecast of the storm.
00:45We expect that this morning, the center of the storm may landfall in Calupuan and may landfall in Isabela or Northern Aurora.
01:01We expect that the storm will weaken as Calupuan moves due to the interaction or friction of the ground.
01:14We also expect that the storm will continue to weaken even if the storm is in the West Philippine Sea until it leaves our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
01:27If the direction and movement of the storm does not change,
01:33we expect that tomorrow morning, the storm will be outside our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
