Bagyong Chedeng (Typhoon Songda) is moving away!

Bagyong Chedeng (internationally knowned as Typhoon Songday) has changed its direction and is now heading to Japan.

This morning's update from PAGASA showed that Bagyong Chedeng (Typhoon Songda) will no longer have its landfall in the country, as shown on PAGASA's track of its position in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

It's still the case this afternoon based on the latest update from PAGASA, released 5PM Thursday, as Typhoon "CHEDENG" continues to move northwestward.

As of 4:00 p.m., Chedeng is now located at 260 km, North Northeast of Virac, Catanduanes in Bicol or 300 km East Southeast of Casiguran, Aurora in the Visayas with maximum sustained winds of 175 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 210 kph.

From Signal #2, it's now just Signal No. 1 in Catanduanes and Camarines Sur and still #1 in Albay, Aurora, Camarines Norte, Quirino, Quezon Provinces, Polillo Island, Cagayan and Isabela.

No more storm signal warning for Sorsogon, Marinduque, Burias Island, Ticao Island, Masbate, Biliran and Samar.

Tomorrow afternoon (Friday), Chedeng is expected to be 320 km Northeast of Casiruran, Aurora or 200 km East Northeast of Aparri, Cagayan.

Probably by Sunday morning, Chedeng is already gone here in the country.
