The tropical storm we have been talking about these last few days is known as "Dolphin." So watch out for bulletins about it in CNN or BBC. Anyway, here's the official advisory about it from Philippine weather authorities. I repeat, it is the first official advisory. Satellite image is accurate as at 7am Saturday, 13 December.
Weather Advisory no. 01
