Typhoon Bising maintains its strength while slowly moving north-northwestward east of Quezon, Pagasa reported on its 11 am weather bulletin.
At 10:00 AM today, the center of the eye of Typhoon Bising was located based on all available data at 475 km East of Infanta, Quezon.
It is moving north-northwestward slowly with maximum sustained winds of 175 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 215 km/h.
Today (20 April), moderate to heavy rains will be experienced over Catanduanes. Light to moderate at times heavy rains over the eastern portion of Quezon, Camarines Provinces, Sorsogon, Albay, and Northern Samar.
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.
In the next 24 hours, the northeasterly wind flow enhanced by the typhoon will also bring strong breeze to near gale conditions with higher gusts over the rest of Northern Luzon and the rest of Aurora and Quezon that are not under any Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS).
