It is forecast to move slowly northward today, then gradually accelerate generally northward tomorrow (August 30) before turning northwestward on Monday (August 31).

The weather system is undergoing a period of rapid intensification. It is forecast to reach typhoon category this afternoon or evening and may reach peak intensity by Monday.
Forecast Position
Hazards affecting land and coastal waters
No tropical cyclone wind signal (TCSWS) is currently in effect.
The raising of TCWS is unlikely throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, 'Julian' is less likely to directly cause high impact weather over the country.
The Southwest Monsoon is forecast to bring moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 3.4 m) over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon. Those with small seacrafts are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea.
'Julian' is the country's 10th tropical cyclone for 2020 and 6th for August alone after Tropical Storms Enteng (Jangmi) and Igme (Bavi) and tropical depressions Ferdie, Gener, and Helen.
On average, there are 20 tropical cyclones that could form or enter the PAR each year. Only have of those are projected to make landfall.
PAGASA declared the onset of rainy season on June 12.
