It is currently moving northwestward at 20 km/h.

According to the state weather bureau, after Luis makes landfall over Isabela, it will sharply turn east northeastward while moving away from the Philippine landmass. However, the PAGASA emphasized that the forecast track is highly uncertain and may change in the succeeding bulletins.

“LUIS is forecast to remain as a tropical depression over majority of the forecast period and may be downgraded into a remnant low by Wednesday (05 August) before becoming fully assimilated into the circulation of Tropical Cyclone DOLPHIN,” the PAGASA said.
