The outer
cloud band of the storm, however, will bring moderate to heavy rains over the Bicol region and Cagayan Valley today and Friday.

The result was a broad, but still shallow, middle
cloud band offering as much as 80% cloud cover across the country which is equally rare.
With its enormous
cloud band, the slow-moving typhoon drenched the northern part of the Philippines with rain for days before pummeling the area with fierce winds, setting off landslides and floods and knocking down walls, the cause of the majority of casualties in that country, said Benito Ramos, who heads the Office of Civil Defense.

cloud band is already affecting Eastern Visayas and Mindanao," he said.
According to Quitlong, the LPA's extension, or trough or outer
cloud band will affect Visayas and Mindanao.
The highest reflectivity is in the 50 km-wide
cloud band bordering the broken cloud to the south, with values of 20 dBZ.
The potential of middle air advection has also been improved (with no cold front/troughs to deflect such inflow) so a persistent
cloud band has appeared, somewhat narrowly, across our skies circulating around a shallow, but also persistent, middle air anticyclonic core above mid-continent.
