We're seeing a much different Maysak today on satellite. Strong wind shear and the presence of dry air have both led to the continued weakening of Maysak. Fortunately, this typhoon should continue weakening before it moves towards the Philippines.
Typhoon Maysak (Bagyong Chedeng) is forecast to make landfall near the Aurora-Isabela Provinces border by early Sunday morning. Due to the unfavorable conditions in the region, we expect Maysak to weaken to a Tropical Storm before making landfall in Luzon. Despite the weakness, we still expect widespread rains to fall in Northern Luzon which can cause flooding and landslides especially in mountainous areas.
Maysak will, then, exit into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) by Sunday afternoon.
We'll have another update tomorrow morning.
