Latest satellite image shows the cluster of clouds associated with TS Sinlaku is now moving away from the Philippines. Rains will continue for Palawan and nearby islands this morning but should end later this afternoon. A low pressure area east of Mindanao, however, will move into the region and could bring another round of rains beginning tomorrow.
Tropical Storm Sinlaku will continue moving quickly westward across the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) and should exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility tonight. It could intensify further in the coming days but should not reach Typhoon-status. Tropical Storm Sinlaku is forecast to make landfall in Central Vietnam by Sunday morning.
We'll have another update later tonight.
