Latest satellite image shows the circulation of Fung-Wong (Mario) continuing to affect large parts of Luzon. The convection remains strong and has caught up with the low-level center. Wind shear has slightly weakened which may allow the storm to slowly intensify today and into tomorrow. We have also highlighted the heavy rains that are affecting Metro Manila. These rains have produced up to 250mm since last night causing widespread flooding. Rains will continue across Manila through tonight but will slowly start moving north by tomorrow.
Tropical Storm Fung-Wong (Mario) is forecast to turn northward towards Taiwan. The system is forecast to make landfall in Southern Taiwan by Saturday evening and will continue to affect the region by Monday. Rains will continue across Luzon but should weaken and start to dissipate by early next week.
We'll have another update later tonight. Stay safe!
