00:00As of 4 in the morning, Tropical Storm Enteng has hit the center of the coastal waters of Pauay in Ilocos Norte.
00:09It has a wind speed of 75 km per hour, close to the center, and has a force of 125 km per hour.
00:16And it is still moving at a speed of 25 km per hour.
00:22It is noteworthy that Tropical Storm Enteng has weakened because it passed through the areas of Cagayan Valley and Cordillera Region,
00:30the mountainous areas where Tropical Storm Enteng has weakened.
00:34But when it reaches the West Philippine Sea later in the morning, it is possible that Tropical Storm Enteng will gradually get stronger.
00:41Meanwhile, based on our latest satellite animation, it is expected that there is a high chance of rain.
00:47As of now, the red and orange colors are still associated with the western section of Luzon and Visayas,
00:53to the southwest of Monsun or Habagat, where Tropical Storm Enteng has weakened.
00:59It is also noteworthy that the cloud clusters or clusters of clouds in the east of Luzon are still extending outside our area of responsibility.
01:08And it is possible that there is still a low-pressure area or a weak storm within 2 to 3 days.
01:14So we will continue to monitor.
01:16For now, we also have a heavy rainfall warning.
01:20As of 5 in the morning, we have an orange warning in Metro Manila, Zambales, and Bataan.
01:26So it means intense rains or heavy rains that will be experienced in the areas we have mentioned.
01:32While we still have a yellow warning in the areas of Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, and Cavite.
01:39So it means heavy rains and flooding is still possible, especially in low-lying areas.
01:45That is why heavy rainfall warnings are still possible in our next bulletins.
01:52This is our latest track of rain regarding Tropical Storm Enteng.
01:56As of 2 in the morning, it is still in the area of Apayawan, Calinga.
02:00And it is expected to pass through the areas of Ilocos Region.
02:04As of 4 in the morning, it is already in Ilocos Norte.
02:06And it is expected to move to the West Philippine Sea by morning.
02:12As of this afternoon, it is still possible for it to grow as a severe tropical storm.
02:17Because it is already in the ocean and it is slowly moving to the left or westward.
02:22Until it leaves our Philippine Area of Responsibility tomorrow early morning.
02:28It is still possible for it to become a typhoon while it is in the area of the South China Sea.
02:32And it will arrive here in Southern China in the following days.
02:37In terms of its winds or its effect,
02:40they will notice that the diameter or the total area of Tropical Storm Enteng is around 300 to 400 kilometers.
02:47And when it arrives here in the ocean, it is still possible for strong winds to pass through
02:52Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Region, and Ilocos Region of Tropical Storm Enteng.
02:59Estimated location is around 110 kilometers west-northwest of Ilocos Norte Offshore.
03:08And when it arrives here early in the morning, it is still inside the PAR.
03:122 a.m. at around 315 kilometers west of Calayan, Cagayan.
03:16And when it arrives here early in the afternoon, it is already outside the PAR
03:20at around 415 kilometers west of Cagayan.
03:25These are the areas that have Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals.
03:30Signal No. 2 in Ilocos Norte, Northern portion of Ilocos Sur, Apayaw, Abra, Calinga,
03:37and the northern part of mainland Cagayan, including Babuyan Island.
03:42These are the areas that will experience gale force winds or strong winds in the following hours.
03:48We also have Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 or strong winds in the remaining part of Ilocos Sur,
03:54Northern portion of La Union, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Northern portion of Benguet,
04:00Batanes, remaining part of Cagayan, including Babuyan Island, Isabela,
04:06Northern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, and Northern portion of Quirino.
04:10Other areas here in Aurora and other parts of Northern Luzon, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals have been reduced.
04:18We expect that as the storm moves to the left,
04:22our wind signals will be reduced in some areas of Northern Luzon later this afternoon.
04:29When it comes to rain, we expect the strongest rain in the areas closest to the storm,
04:35including Ilocos Region, and because of the low levels in Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.
04:41And please take note, in areas like Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro,
04:46heavy to intense rains will continue, not just today, but until Thursday.
04:52So be careful of possible floods and landslides in your area.
04:57Meanwhile, we have moderate to heavy rains for today in the areas of Cagayan Valley and Cordillera Region.
05:03The effects of the storm are direct.
05:05While there are still heavy rains in Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, Cavite,
05:13Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, and Northern portion of Palawan,
05:17it is still possible for us to raise heavy rainfall warnings in these areas in the next 24 hours.
05:23By tomorrow, in those areas, there will be moderate to heavy rains,
05:2950-100 mm over the entire Ilocos Region, Benguet, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
05:40Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, and Northern Palawan.
05:44By Thursday, there will be moderate to heavy rains in the areas of Pangasinan,
05:51but still in Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, almost the entire Calabarzon, and Northern portion of Palawan.
06:00So, be careful of possible floods and landslides.
06:03And if you will leave your house, make sure that you have an umbrella, not only in the rain, but also in the floods.
06:09And because it is still in the Southwest Monsoon,
06:13in the coming days, we will also have gusty conditions or sometimes strong winds
06:19that are not coming from Baguio-Enteng, but from Habagat.
06:24Gusty conditions over Ilocos Region for today, as well as Nueva Vizcaya, Carino, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
06:33Calabarzon, the entire Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, and Northern Samar.
06:41Tomorrow, there will still be gusty winds in Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
06:52as well as in Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and Northern Samar.
06:59So, again, to remind our countrymen, always be careful of possible floods in low-lying areas.
07:06Make sure that we are also monitoring our water levels in the mountains because it is also possible for floods to occur,
07:11especially if heavy rains will continue in the mountains that will suddenly descend in our downstream areas.
07:18And it is possible for landslides, especially in mountainous areas in the Cordillera Region,
07:23and some areas here in Cagayan Valley and Calabarzon.
07:29And in terms of our waves, in our coastal waters, we still have gale warning in high waves.
07:35Here in the Northern and Central Zones, in the Baybayin, Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union,
07:43Cagayan, Baboyan Islands, Isabela, and Aurora.
07:48So, we have already removed the gale warning in Quezon and Camarines Norte.
07:52The waves will be up to 4.5 meters today.
07:55In these areas, it is equivalent to one and a half times the area of Gusali.
07:59It is dangerous for small sea vessels.
08:02If there is a wind signal, it is automatically suspended for all types of sea vessels.
08:06But if there is a gale warning and there are no wind signals,
08:09it is possible for small sea vessels to be prohibited from sailing.
08:13And the storm surge, which is one to two meters, is still possible here in the North,
08:19including the Baybayin, here in Cagayan, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur.
