A slightly stronger and slower Tropical Storm “Enteng” (international name “Yagi”) continues to move across the coastal waters of Camarines Norte, with landfall still possible over Isabela or Cagayan on Monday afternoon or evening, Sept. 2, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In PAGASA’s 5 a.m. bulletin, Enteng has maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center, with gusts reaching up to 90 kph, an increase from 65 kph maximum winds and 80 kph gusts in the previous bulletin.
However, if the storm track shifts further west, landfall over northern Aurora cannot be ruled out, PAGASA said.

00:00It intensified and slowed down the movement of the Enteng storm
00:06while it was still driving the sea east of the Bicol region.
00:10It was last seen over the coastal waters of Vincennes, Camarines Norte.
00:17This is because of the strong winds of 75 kilometers per hour near the center
00:21and a gust of wind that reaches 90 kilometers per hour.
00:25This is because of the strong winds of 10 kilometers per hour
00:30and at the moment, it is still blowing strong winds
00:36here in the Bicol region and Quezon, as well as in a large part of Luzon.
00:41Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon, Habagat, is still blowing
00:45here in a large part of southern Luzon and Visayas
00:49where it will also bring rains here in a large part of central and southern Luzon
00:55as well as here in the area of western Visayas.
00:58So, be careful for the floods and landslides.
01:03According to our latest forecast track analysis of the Enteng storm,
01:08generally, it will still move eastward in the next 24 hours
01:13and it is possible for it to landfall here in Isabela, Cagayan area
01:17later in the afternoon or evening.
01:19And if there is a shift or a more westward shift of the Enteng storm,
01:25we will not remove the possibility that it will landfall here in the northern portion of Aurora.
01:33Meanwhile, tomorrow morning, it will move to Kanluran, Hilagang, Kanluran
01:39and we will not remove the possibility of another landfall here in the area of Babuyan Islands
01:45wherein, if the Enteng storm moves the Luzon straight by Wednesday or from tomorrow until Wednesday,
01:54it is also possible for it to move slowly while it will intensify.
02:02Meanwhile, the Enteng storm, after noon, will continue to move west, northwestward
02:09while it is moving fast again outside our area of responsibility.
02:14And according to our latest analysis, we can see that it will leave our area of responsibility
02:20by Wednesday evening to Thursday early morning.
02:23And if there is a more westward shift of the Enteng storm
02:28because of the developing ridge of high-pressure area in its north,
02:32it is possible for an increased amount of rainfall here in the area of mainland Luzon.
02:40And also, according to our forecast intensity,
02:43until Tuesday, we can see that the Enteng storm remains a tropical storm
02:48and by Wednesday, it is possible for it to intensify into a severe tropical storm.
02:54Meanwhile, by Thursday or Friday, when it is outside our area of responsibility,
03:00it is possible for it to intensify into a typhoon category.
03:05And because the Enteng storm is still at sea,
03:08we are not removing the possibility of further intensification
03:13because of favorable conditions.
03:17And again, we can see that the Enteng storm is generally moving north-northwestward
03:25while it is still following the east coast of Luzon.
03:28And we can see the possibility of landfall here in the Maycagayan-Isabela area.
03:34And if there is a more severe movement,
03:38we are not removing the possibility of landfall here in the northern portion of Aurora.
03:45And while it is following the east coast of Luzon,
03:48either it will landfall or just get closer to the east coast of our country,
03:55it will continue to produce heavy rainfall,
04:00especially here in the east coast of Central and Southern Luzon,
04:04as well as in a large portion of Northern Luzon.
04:07So generally, the Enteng storm will produce heavy rainfall in a large portion of Mainland Luzon.
04:16Aside from that, we can also see the areas under shaded yellow.
04:21These are the areas that will experience the maximum winds produced by the Enteng storm.
