Tropical Cyclone Update #LeonPH (as of 11 p.m. , Saturday, October 26)
At 10 p.m. , Tropical Storm Leon was located 1,355 km east of Central Luzon, packing winds of 65 kph and gusts up to 80 kph. It is moving westward at 25 kph.
Leon will remain far from the Philippine landmass; however, its windfield extends up to 640 km from its center.
This may warrant the raising of wind signals over parts of Bicol Region and Cagayan Valley by Sunday afternoon or evening (October 27).
The storm will move westward until Monday evening (October 28), then turn north northwestward. It will continuously intensify and reach typhoon strength.
It may exit the Philippine area of responsibility late Thursday (October 31) or early Friday (November 1).
