Tropical Storm Songda Update #7

Tropical Storm Songda ("Pre-Chedeng") continues to strengthen. Maximum sustained winds are now at 100kph. Songda is moving WNW-ward at 12 kph. It is about 2-3 hours away from entering the PAR. Convection continues to build around the center and recent IR imagery suggests that an eye may already be forming. Computer models continue to trend westward and as we've said before, there is a medium chance Songda could hit Luzon.
