Tropical depression Quinta barrels toward Bicol, Eastern Visayas
A low pressure area east of Mindanao has intensified into Tropical Depression Quinta, the 17th tropical cyclone for the Philippines in 2020.
Quinta is now located 820 kilometers east northeast of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte, moving northwest at 25 km/h.
It is forecast to make landfall in the Bicol Region or Eastern Visayas between Sunday evening, October 25, and Monday morning, October 26, then cross Southern Luzon on Monday.
Currently, Quinta has maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h with gustiness of up to 55 km/h, but is expected to intensify into a tropical storm within 24 hours and potentially a severe tropical storm before landfall.
After crossing the Philippine archipelago, the tropical cyclone may continue intensifying over the West Philippine Sea.
While Quinta remains relatively far from land, its trough will bring rain on Saturday, October 24, compounded by the trough of Typhoon Saudel.
