This system will first make landfall on Mindanao Island Philippines some time between Thursday night and Friday morning.

By Sunday, it is predicted that the typhoon will cross southern Palawan and northern Malaysia. Heavy flooding is expected since the area is already saturated by heavy rains dropped by Typhoon Kai-Tak, or "Urduja".

The death toll from Kai-Tak in the Philippines reached 46 in Eastern Visayas on Tuesday, according to the Manila Times.
