Super Typhoon Karding now affects Polilio Islands; Signal No. 5

Super Typhoon 'Karding' is forecast to track generally westward in the next 6 to 12 hours, then west northwestward for the remainder of the day.

On the forecast track, 'Karding' will likely make landfall in the vicinity of the northern portion of Quezon tonight.

The possibility of an earlier (afternoon) landfall or close approach in the vicinity of Polillo Islands is not ruled out.

For the remainder of this evening post-landfall through tomorrow early morning, it will traverse the landmass of Central Luzon and emerge over the West Philippine Sea via the coastal waters of Zambales or Pangasinan.

Frictional effects during landfall and traverse of the Luzon landmass will weaken KARDING throughout the evening through tomorrow early morning, although it is highly likely that this tropical cyclone will remain a typhoon while crossing the landmass.
