Latest satellite image shows Jangmi is not looking as organized as it did yesterday. The central convection is less consolidated and the low-level center is partially sheared from the main convection. Nevertheless, widespread heavy rains continue across parts of Visayas especially across the island of Panay. Even parts of Samar and the Bicol Region are seeing scattered rains today. These adverse weather conditions will continue through the evening hours but should taper off by tomorrow as it already did in Mindanao today.

Forecast Track (NOT OFFICIAL!)


Tropical Storm Jangmi will continue moving across the Sulu Sea today and will move into Palawan by tonight. The center is forecast to pass near the city of Puerto Princesa and will bring widespread rains across the region. Jangmi should move into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) by tomorrow and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday.

We'll have another update later tonight.
