Typhoon Utor (Philippine name Labuyo) has continued to intensify as it approaches the Philippines, where it is likely to make landfall as a Category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Signal #3 Warnings are currently in effect for Catanduanes, an island province off Luzon, and this area will be the first to receive a close pass from the typhoon.
Utor is likely to make landfall in Aurora province, though a jog in either direction could take the landfall location to Quezon or Isabela provinces. Regardless of its ultimate landfall location, Utor is likely to bring sustained winds in excess of 100mph to coastal regions along the eastern coast of Luzon, with higher gusts. Luzon is also likely to receive a large amount of rain which could lead to flooding and mudslides across the island.

Beyond the Philippines, Utor is expected to weaken and then reintensify in the South China Sea, before a potential landfall in China as a Category 2 typhoon, though the validation of this forecast rests fairly heavily on how the storm progresses through the Philippines.
