This is our first video update on Tropical Storm Saola (Bagyong Gener) which is located east of Luzon. The system is now bringing rains across Southern Luzon and Visayas. Signal #1 has also been issued by PAGASA in anticipation of the storm. Saola is forecast to move to the northwest but is not expected to make landfall in Luzon. It could, however, move into Taiwan early next week.

We'll have our Text Update with more details and forecasts on Saola in about half an hour.
