    The US and Japan has resources they use for tracking and providing information from satellite. Of course, the Philippines also provides their own information, but their satellite imagery comes from elsewhere. I think PAGASA comes up with their own predictions and puts together these maps. When you see things like wind speed, that's usually a combination of ground sensors, ballpark figures from satellite images, educated guesses and sometimes flying planes right into the things.

    PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration)

    JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency)

    https://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/bl.html

    NASA, etc also has a bunch of resources for viewing this stuff. One cool site for imagery is...

    https://earth.nullschool.net

    You can see the thing forming on that site.

    As it is now yes but we are still 48hrs away so may well move further south.

    Unless my 75 yr old brain and eyes are shot, the eye will hit us on WEDNESDAY AM, not tuesday (8am; 11/21) ????? Rainy tuesday, yes, but not the direct hit, and, yes, we have a couple days for the track to meander.... Batten down the hatches....

    Agreed, it made the turn northwest overnight, and track center now is 100 km north of us over cebu, might miss negros altogether, altho we are still well within the possible track "cone".

    Still a "depression," don't see a sign that it's strengthening, although it's got a lotta water to cross today.

    I usually go to the track maps on the below, althou they're posted on twitter:
    https://www1.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/ or the new site:

    Just shows not even the best forcasts cant predict the path of these storms. Looks like it will miss us completly now except for a few scattered showers as turned north again but they still cancelled all the ferries and schools.
