Latest satellite image continues to show a much weaker Maysak compared to yesterday. However, please do not underestimate this Typhoon as it can still bring dangerous conditions once it makes landfall in Northern Luzon tomorrow. Heavy rains and strong winds are still expected, especially along the coastal areas of Aurora and Isabela Provinces.
Typhoon Maysak (Bagyong Chedeng) is moving closer to the Philippines and its outer rain bands will start bringing light to moderate rains across the Bicol Region, particularly in Catanduanes. These rains showers will spread northwestward and will eventually impact parts of Central and Northern Luzon.
Maysak is forecast to make landfall near the Aurora-Isabela border, just north of Casiguran by 8am tomorrow morning (Sunday). It will cross Northern Luzon bringing heavy rains across the region. It will also continue weakening, becoming a minimal tropical storm as it exits into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) by tomorrow evening.
We'll have another update later tonight. Stay safe!
