Manila: Another tropical cyclone is forecast to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tuesday and is seen to impact Northern Luzon. As of 10 a.m. Monday, the tropical depression outside PAR was located at 1,480 km. east of Eastern Visayas, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). According to Philippines News Agency, PAGASA forecaster Chris Perez stated in a briefing before noon that the cyclone is heading towards PAR and is likely to make landfall over Northern Luzon. Once inside PAR, the tropical cyclone will be given the local name Ofel. As of 11 a.m. Monday, the cyclone packs maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph. PAGASA has forecasted the cyclone to intensify and reach the typhoon category by Wednesday. While it is too early to determine the specific areas to be affected by certain hazards, areas in Northern Luzon are at risk of heavy rainfall, severe wind, and possibly storm surge in undation. The eastern portions of Central and Southern Luzon may also feel the effects. The cyclone may also bring potentially risky sea conditions over the northern and eastern seaboard of the Bicol Region and the eastern seaboard of Eastern Visayas beginning mid-Wednesday. Meanwhile, another tropical cyclone with the international name Man-yi is being monitored. It is still too far and was last located 3,280 km. east of southeastern Luzon, outside PAR. Perez advised the public to keep monitoring PAGASA for updates.
