'Bagyong Enteng' has maximum winds of 45 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 55 km/h.
On the forecast track, 'Enteng' will traverse generally northward throughout the period and will remain far from the Philippine landmass.

Forecast Positions
PAGASA said additional intensification remains likely over the next two days as it is forecast to reach tropical storm category by tomorrow morning.
Hazards affecting land
No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal currently in effect.
Today, 'Bagyong Enteng' will bring scattered light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas. The Southwest Monsoon enhanced by TD ENTENG will bring monsoon rains over Zambales, Bataan, Mindoro Provinces, Romblon, and Northern Palawan (including Calamian, Cuyo, and Kalayaan Islands) and occasional rains over Pangasinan, the rest of Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, the rest of MIMAROPA, and the rest of Visayas.
On Sunday, the enhanced Southwest Monsoon may bring monsoon rains over Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Bulacan, Metro Manila, Cavite, Mindoro Provinces, Calamian Islands, and Kalayaan Islands, and occasional rains over the rest of Luzon and Western Visayas.
Flooding and rain-induced landslide may occur during heavy or prolonged rainfall especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards.
Hazards affecting coastal waters
Those with small seacrafts are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out over the seaboards of Luzon and Visayas due to moderate to rough seas.
'Enteng' is the country's fifth tropical cyclone for 2020, after Typhoon Ambo (Vongfong) in May, Tropical Storm Butchoy (Nuri) in June, Tropical Depression Carina in July and Tropical Depression 'Dindo' early this month.
On average, there are 20 tropical cyclones that could form or enter the PAR each year.
PAGASA declared the onset of rainy season on June 12.
