More than a month has passed since a typhoon (Genevieve after a rare status change) roamed the waters of the western Pacific Basin, a streak that just came to an end.
While landfall is projected for Sunday afternoon or evening (local time) in the northern Philippines, torrential rain is already beginning to spread across the island of Luzon. Rainfall and wind will steadily increase through Sunday as the center of the typhoon bares down on the region.
Rainfall amounts should generally be on the order of 125 to 250 millimeters (5 to 10 inches) with potentially 380 millimeters (15 inches) in the mountains.
That amount of rain has raised serious concerns for life-threatening flooding and mudslides.Winds strong enough to cause widespread tree damage and power outages and some structural damage will also occur along the path of the typhoon through central and northern Luzon. Rough surf will pound the coast, creating dangerous conditions for swimmers and boaters
