Latest satellite image shows the central dense overcast of Kalmaegi has further improved and strengthened. However, the system is running out of time as it is nearing the island of Luzon. Western portions of the core are now beginning to interact with the rugged terrain which should limit intensification.
The center of Typhoon Kalmaegi (Bagyong Luis) is forecast to make landfall in the province of Isabela later this evening. The system will then cross the provinces of Kalinga, Apayao, Abra, and eventually into Ilocos Norte before exiting into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea). Strong and damaging winds will be felt near the center of Kalmaegi. Meanwhile, torrential rainfall will overspread much of Northern Luzon and even into parts of Central and Southern Luzon.
Weather conditions will remain dangerous overnight and into tomorrow morning. Please stay safe and always heed the warnings of your local officials. Do not use our forecasts in life or death situations!
We'll have another update later this evening.
