Typhoon Bising further weakens as it continues to move slowly northward, Pagasa reported on its 5 am weather bulletin, April 20.
At 4:00 AM today, the center of the eye of Typhoon Bising was located based on all available data at 505 km East of Infanta, Quezon.
It is moving northward slowly with maximum sustained winds of 175 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 215 km/h.
Today (20 April), heavy to intense rains will be experienced over Catanduanes. Moderate to heavy rains over the eastern portion of Camarines Sur and Rapu-Rapu Islands. Under these conditions and considering the antecedent rainfall over the aforementioned areas, flooding (including flashfloods) and rain-induced landslides are highly likely to occur especially in areas identified in hazard maps as highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards.
Tropical cyclone winds of at least strong breeze to near gale in strength extend outward up to 500 km from the center of the typhoon. Destructive typhoon-force winds extend outward up to 110 km from the center of the typhoon.
Considering the uncertainty in the projected path of the typhoon over the next 48 hours, the possibility of hoisting Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #2 over some areas in the eastern portion of Cagayan and Isabela is not ruled out at this time.
