After moving out of the Philippine territory last Tuesday, tropical storm “Onyok” (international name: Roke) may change its track and re-enter the country Saturday. | |||
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the eye of storm “Onyok” was located 850 kilometers (km) northeast of Basco, Batanes near the boundary of the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) as of 11 a.m. on Saturday. | |||
"Onyok" intensifed into a storm with maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 90 kph. | |||
“Onyok” is forecast to remain almost stationary near the PAR within the next 24 hours. | |||
PAGASA assistant weather division chief Rene Paciente earlier said the weather disturbance has stayed near the boundary of PAR after “Onyok” briefly remained inside the PAR last Monday and moved out of the Philippine territory last Tuesday morning. | |||
The weather disturbance, embedded along the monsoon trough over Northern and Central Luzon, is expected to bring scattered to widespread rains over the western section of these areas. | |||
PAGASA said scattered to widespread rains are likely over the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Benguet, Pangasinan and Zambales, which may trigger flash floods and landslides in these areas. | |||
“Residents along these areas are advised to take all necessary precautionary measures,” PAGASA said. It also advised that the whole country will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. | |||
