Latest satellite image shows the expansive Central Dense Overcast of Typhoon Koppu moving over much of Luzon. Koppu briefly attained Super Typhoon intensity before making landfall in Aurora at about 1am Philippine Time. While the eye is no longer visible, the core remains intact and the overall structure is still highly developed. Expect typhoon-force winds of up to 160kph to still be present very near the center of Koppu.
Aside from the strong winds, very heavy rains continue to affect much of Central and Northern Luzon. Rain showers are beginning to weaken across the Bicol Region. However, up north, we are expecting an additional 200 to as much as 400mm of rain over the next 48 hours. The threat of landslides and widespread flooding are still possible in many areas.
We'll have another update later today.
