MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- The Philippine weather bureau is reporting Typhoon Nuri is on track to make landfall over the northern provinces within the next 24 hours.
Nuri is packing winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) and gusts of up to 93 miles (150 kilometers) per hour. It is moving quickly toward the north of main Luzon island.
The head of the weather bureau, Nathaniel Cruz, said on Tuesday that Nuri is on the path to slam ashore near northeastern Cagayan province, where a storm alert has been raised to warn fishermen to stay out of the sea.
The eye of the typhoon is expected to move across the Calayan group of islands and Ilocos Norte province on Wednesday, before heading across the South China Sea toward Guangdong, China.
