On the forecast track, the core of JELAWAT will continue to remain over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea, well to the east of Bicol Region and move on a snail-pace, poleward track.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to 100 km/hr (55 knots) with higher gusts. A continued increase in strength will be expected during the next 2 to 3 days...and JELAWAT could become a Typhoon on Sunday.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 120 kilometers (65 nautical miles) from the center. JELAWAT is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 445 kilometers (240 nautical miles) across.
