Paeng now a tropical storm
Due to the Shear Line and the trough of PAENG, heavy rains are possible over Visayas, most of Southern Luzon, and the northern portion of Mindanao.
Strong winds may be experienced within any of the areas where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 is hoisted throughout the entire passage of PAENG. Per latest track and intensity forecast, the highest wind signal that will likely be hoisted is Wind Signal No. 4, in anticipation of typhoon-force conditions associated with PAENG.
In the next 24 hours, the surge of the Northeast Monsoon will also bring strong winds with gusts reaching gale-force strength over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Quezon, Bicol Region, Marinduque, Romblon, and the northern portions of mainland Cagayan, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte.
Tropical Storm PAENG will move southwestward or west southwestward within 6 hours before turning generally west northwestward over the Philippine Sea through Sunday while moving towards central or southern portion of Luzon. On the forecast track, PAENG may pass close to Catanduanes on Saturday and a landfall scenario is possible on Sunday in the eastern coast of Aurora or Quezon.
