MANILA — Due to tropical depression Florita, the state weather bureau PAGASA on Monday morning placed 12 areas in Luzon under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1.
Florita was last observed 310 kilometers east of Casiguran Aurora, with maximum sustained winds of 55 km per hour and gusts as high as 70 kph.
The tropical depression was moving west southwest at 20 kph.
PAGASA placed the following areas under Signal No. 1:
- Cagayan
- Isabela
- Quirino
- Nueva Vizcaya
- Apayao
- Abra
- Kalinga
- Mountain Province
- Ifugao
- Ilocos Norte
- Ilocos Sur
- Northern portion of Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, Dinalungan, Dipaculao)
Under Signal No. 1, winds between 30 and 60 kph in at least 36 hours or intermittent rains within the same time period may be experienced.
According to PAGASA, Florita will likely move west-southwestward or westward in the next 12 hours before turning west-northwestward or northwestward this afternoon or evening.
It is still expected to make landfall “in the vicinity of the east coast of Cagayan or northern Isabela” on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 23.
“Afterwards, the center of Florita will traverse the Babuyan Channel and may pass close or make landfall in the vicinity of Babuyan Islands tomorrow evening (Aug. 23) or early morning of Wednesday (Aug. 24) before emerging over the West Philippine Sea,” PAGASA said.
The weather disturbance may further intensify into a tropical storm on Monday.
“There is a potential for slight weakening as Florita crosses the northern portion of northern Luzon due to frictional effects of the rugged terrain, but the tropical cyclone will likely remain a tropical storm throughout the passage over land,” PAGASA said.
