Packing winds up to 95 kilometers per hour, and moving west at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, Urduja is expected to make landfall this afternoon on the areas between Eastern Samar and Northern Samar.

Aside from wind with speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour, Pagasa also cautioned areas under Signal No. 1 for waves that can reach up to four meters in height.
