Latest satellite image shows the center of Rammasun moving very near the island of Samar.

Much of Bicol and Eastern Visayas are already experiencing heavy rains and strong winds. Weather conditions will only get worse throughout the day today.
Forecast Track (NOT OFFICIAL!)
Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda) is forecast to make landfall in the Albay/Sorsogon area later this evening. The system will then move across the Bicol Region and eventually into Southern Luzon. Metro Manila will experience strong winds and very heavy rain tonight and into tomorrow. Even parts of Northern Luzon could see heavy rains by Wednesday.
Rammasun is forecast to exit Luzon into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) by Thursday morning and will head towards Southern China by late this week. Heavy rains will continue across Luzon by Thursday but the weather should slowly improve later that day.
We'll have another update this noon. Stay safe!
