As of this posting  the storm was spotted 2,405km east of Mindanao, Philippines.  According to PAGASA the storm Hagupit(Int'l name) was headed towards the eastern portion of the country, packing maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of 90 kph as of 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Two scenarios:  The storm will skirt the Philippines and move towards Japan due to the presence of the high pressure area (anti-cyclone) northeast of the Philippines and the strengthening of the northeast monsoon , which brings cold winds that are unfavorable for the development or intensification of a weather disturbance.

The time "Hagupit" enters PAR it will be named as "Ruby".
