In its 11 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA said Tropical Storm Jenny is forecast to steadily intensify and become a Severe Tropical Storm by Sunday.PAGASA, however, said heavy rainfall may be experienced in Batanes and Babuyan Islands on Tuesday or Wednesday due to the proximity of the track forecast to Extreme Northern Luzon.
Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat may be enhanced by Jenny, resulting in possible occasional rains over the western portions of Southern Luzon and Visayas on Sunday.PAGASA said the current forecast scenario shows that Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals may be hoisted over Extreme Northern Luzon on Sunday or on Monday in anticipation of the onset of tropical cyclone severe winds.
Further, a landfall or close approach scenario over Extreme Northern Luzon or northeastern mainland Cagayan is not ruled out since these scenarios are within the forecast confidence cone.The center of Tropical Storm Jenny was estimated based on all available data at 1,025 km East of Central Luzon Moving west southwestward at 35 km/h, it has maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 80 km/h.
