TY Nesat (Pedring) Update #12 Brief

Typhoon Nesat (Pedring) is now moving over the Isabela-Aurora Border, approximately 30km north northwest of Casiguran, Aurora or about 220km northeast of Manila. Nesat has weakened slightly to Category 2 Status with maximum sustained winds decreasing to about 175kph gusting to 210kph. It is moving westward at 20kph.

Latest VIS Image here shows the center of Nesat is now cloud-covered as it interacts with land. Convective activity remains pretty strong and much of Luzon right now is experiencing Tropical Storm-Force winds. Typhoon-force winds, on the other hand, extends to about 60km away from the center.
