PAGASA weather forecast
State weather bureau PAGASA said that Severe Tropical Storm 'Kristine' is now over the coastal waters of southern Ilocos Sur.
At 4:00 p.m. today, the center of 'Kristine' was estimated based on all available data over the coastal waters of Santa Lucia, Ilocos Sur.
'Kristine' has maximum sustained winds of 95 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 145 km/h, and central pressure of 985 hPa. It is moving westward slowly.
Signal No. 3 was raised over the areas of Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan.
Signal No. 2 was hoisted over Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, and Bulacan.
Signal No. 1 up in Batanes, Metro Manila, Rizal, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, the northern portion of mainland Palawan (El Nido, Taytay, Araceli, San Vicente, Dumaran, Roxas) including Calamian Islands, Cuyo, and, Kalayaan Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate including Ticao and Burias Islands.
Also under Signal 1 are Visayas areas: Aklan, Capiz, Antique including Caluya Islands, Iloilo, Bantayan Islands, Northern Samar, the northern portion of Samar (Calbayog City, Almagro, Tagapul-An, Santo Nino).
'Kristine' is forecast to move westward or west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) region tomorrow (25 October) afternoon.
In the extended outlook, there is a developing forecast situation wherein 'Kristine' will be looping over the West Philippine Sea on Sunday and Monday and move eastward or east northwestward towards the general direction of the PAR region. However, this scenario heavily depends on the behavior of the weather disturbance east of the PAR region which is expected to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
'Kristine' is forecast to re-intensify as it moves over the West Philippine Sea. While it is likely that the tropical cyclone will remain a severe tropical storm in the next five days, the chance for it to be upgraded into a typhoon is not ruled out.
