PAGASA said “Tino” is so far located 170 km east southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, packing maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h near the center with a gustiness of up to 160 km/h.

It is moving westward at 20 km/h, and is forecast to make landfall or pass very close to Homonhon Island or Dinagat Islands tonight or early tomorrow morning.

It is then expected to make landfall over Leyte or Southern Leyte by early tomorrow morning, before crossing the Visayas and northern Palawan throughout tomorrow and Wednesday morning.

PAGASA said the surge of the northeast monsoon and the shear line coinciding with the passage of the typhoon will also bring strong to gale-force gusts today over the following areas that are not under a wind signal:

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Aurora, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Bicol Region.

A gale warning is in effect over the eastern seaboard of Northern Luzon, and the eastern and southern seaboards of Southern Luzon, the seaboards of Visayas, and the northern and eastern seaboards of Mindanao.

According to the weather bureau, the typhoon will likely emerge over the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday morning or afternoon and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday morning.
