MANILA, Philippines — Maaaring maglandfall ang Bagyong Emong sa La Union o Ilocos Sur sa Biyernes, Hulyo 25 ng umaga, habang inaasahang lalabas ng Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) ang Tropical Storm Dante sa Huwebes, Hulyo 24 ng hapon o gabi, ayon sa Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Sa kanilang 11 a.m. Thursday bulletin, sinabi ng PAGASA na huling namataan ang Bagyong Emong sa layong 220 kilometro sa kanluran-timog-kanluran ng Bacnotan, La Union, o 210 kilometro sa kanluran ng Dagupan City, Pangasinan.
Tinataya itong kikilos nang mabagal habang nagsisimula itong lumiko sa silangan, pagkatapos ay bumibilis pahilagang-silangan pagsapit ng gabi ng Huwebes.
Maaaring maglandfall ang bagyo sa La Union o Ilocos Sur sa Biyernes ng umaga.
“A close approach over northwestern Pangasinan between this evening and tomorrow early morning prior to landfall further north is not ruled out. After briefly crossing the mountainous terrain of northwestern Luzon, Emong will continue accelerating northeastward over the Luzon Strait and the Philippine Sea east of Taiwan. Between tomorrow late morning and evening, it may pass close to or make landfall over the Babuyan Islands and Batanes,” saad ng PAGASA.
“Emong may still briefly intensify prior to landfall due to favorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions,” dagdag pa nito.
Si Emong ay may lakas ng hanging aabot sa 120 kilometro bawat oras (kph) malapit sa gitna at pagbugsong aabot sa 150 kph, na kumikilos nang mabagal timog-timog-silangan.
