2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*
TY NOUL (DODONG) is expected to move generally northwestward throughout the forecast period. On the forecast track, Noul will be approaching the northeastern shores of Catanduanes this afternoon and shall be nearing the eastern shores of Isabela through Sunday morning (May 10). It will make landfall along the eastern shores of Isabela before noon of Sunday, May 11.
NOUL (DODONG) is still expected to gain strength within the next 24 hours...and afterwards it will start to gradually weaken due to the frictional effect of the mountain ranges of Northeastern Luzon to its circulation upon making landfall.

The following is the 3-day forecast outlook summary* for this system:
