As of 5:00 PM today, Typhoon Pedring continues to move away from the country and is now out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
At 4:00 AM today, the eye of Typhoon Pedring was located based on radar, satellite and surface data at 300 km northwest of Baguio City (17.8°N 117.8°E) with maximum sustained winds of 120 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 150 kph. It is forecast to move West Northwest at 19 kph.
Public Storm Warning Signals elsewhere are now lowered.
Typhoon Pedring, though, will continue to enhance the Southwest Monsoon and will bring scattered to widespread rains over the rest of Western Luzon.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Quiel (Nalgae) was estimated 1,330 km East of Northern Luzon and is expected to enter the PAR within the next 24 hours.
DOST Undersecretary Graciano Yumul Jr. said there is a great chance that Quiel would intensify into a powerful cyclone, noting it had been a tropical storm only on Tuesday. It is likely to gain strength as it travels over the sea toward the Philippine territory.
Yumul also said "Quiel" had absorbed another tropical cyclone that would have been called "Ramon" if it entered the Philippine territory.
