IR Image from NRLMRY
Latest satellite image shows the core of Wukong/Quinta moving across the island of Cebu. The system made landfall in Leyte about 6 hours ago but hasn't really shown any weakening. The low-level center remains intact and is actually more aligned with the convective activity.
Radar from Cebu Station (ClimateX PH)
Latest radar image from Cebu City shows bands of light to moderate rain impacting many islands in the Visayas. Many areas have already reported 100mm of rain, Tacloban has actually received nearly 200mm of rain already! As much as 100mm of rain could still fall today especially across the islands of Cebu, Negros, Panay, and Masbate. Areas to the north such as the Bicol Region are also seeing light to moderate rains with areas such as Albay and Legaspi seeing 10mm of rain per hour.

Rains will continue to overspread the Central Philippines particularly in Visayas and Bicol area today. Northern Mindanao will also see some light rains but the amounts should be less. Wukong will pass south of Masbate/north of Bacolod in about two hours. By noon, it should be moving across Northern Panay. We're not expecting significant intensification due to continuous land interaction. However, the heavy rains will remain a big threat from this system.
We'll have another update later this afternoon.
