According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, as of 7 p.m. on November 25, the storm's center was located over the western sea area off central Philippines.

The strongest winds near the storm’s center are currently at level 8 (62–74km/h), with gusts reaching level 10. The storm is moving in a west-northwest direction at a speed of 20–25km/h.

Forecasts for the next 24 to 48 hours show that the storm will continue moving northwest before gradually slowing between 72 and 120 hours from now, shifting westward and then back to west-northwest. Its intensity is expected to remain relatively steady before gradually weakening.

Due to the storm’s influence, strong winds of level 6–7 are expected over the eastern area of the central East Sea. Areas near the storm’s center will see winds at levels 8–9, with gusts reaching level 11 and waves rising to 4–6 meters, making seas extremely rough.

Between November 27 and 28, the central East Sea region - including the northern waters of the Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago - is forecast to experience extremely dangerous conditions. Winds may reach level 10–11, with gusts at level 14 and wave heights of 7 to 9 meters.

All vessels operating in these dangerous zones will likely be affected by thunderstorms, cyclones, strong winds, and high waves.
