MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Storm Enteng may make landfall over Cagayan and Isabela on Monday, according to state meteorologists.
As of 8:00 a.m., Enteng was last spotted 100 kilometers north-northwest of Daet, Camarines Norte, at 15 kilometers per hour (kph) west northwestward.
It is packing maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gustiness of up to 90 kph, according to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Enteng may possibly (sic) make landfall over Isabela or Cagayan this afternoon or tonight,” the Pagasa said in its 8:00 a.m. update.
Possible landfall over Aurora and Babuyan Islands is not ruled out, should Enteng change direction.
Also, Pagasa said increased rainfall may be seen in Luzon due to the developing ridge of high pressure.
Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 2 is raised in nine areas in Luzon, where winds of greater than 62 kph and up to 88 kph may be expected in at least 24 hours, causing minor to moderate impacts to life and property.
