MANILA (UPDATED) — The state weather bureau on Monday placed more northern Luzon areas under tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 as Typhoon Jenny further intensified over the Philippine Sea.

Jenny, spotted 485 kilometers east of Basco town in Batanes at 4 p.m., was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and up to 190 kph gusts, PAGASA said in its 5 p.m. bulletin.

PAGASA raised signal number 1 over the following areas and warned of slight damage in some weak houses in 36 hours.

  • Batanes
  • Cagayan including Babuyan Islands
  • Northern and eastern portion of Isabela (Maconacon, Divilacan, Palanan, Santa Maria, San Pablo, Tumauini, Cabagan, Ilagan City, San Mariano, Santo Tomas, Dinapigue, Benito Soliven, Naguilian, Gamu, Quirino, Delfin Albano, Quezon, Mallig)
  • Apayao
  • Northern and central portions of Ilocos Norte (Carasi, Vintar, Burgos, Dumalneg, Bangui, Pagudpud, Adams, Nueva Era, Pasuquin, Bacarra, Laoag City, San Nicolas, Sarrat, Piddig, Dingras, Solsona, Marcos)
  • Northeastern portion of Abra (Tineg, Lacub, Malibcong)
  • Northern portion of Kalinga (Balbalan, Pinukpuk, Rizal, City of Tabuk)

"The most likely highest Wind Signal that will be hoisted is Wind Signal No. 2, although the potential for Wind Signal No. 3 is not ruled out at this time," PAGASA said.

HEAVY RAINFALL

From Monday until Tuesday afternoon, the weather agency said 50-100 mm (2 to 4 inches) of rain could hit Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and Isabela.

By Tuesday to Wednesday afternoon, 100-200 mm (around 4 to 8 inches) of rain could fall in Batanes, while 50-100 mm of rain could be experienced in the Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and the northern portions of mainland Cagayan and Apayao.

PAGASA noted that forecast rainfall is "generally higher" in mountainous areas and that flooding and landslides are possible.

MONSOON RAINS

The typhoon is also expected to continue enhancing the southwest monsoon or habagat.

PAGASA said habagat could stir occasional rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the next three days.

Jenny is seen to steadily intensify and reach peak intensity on Tuesday. However, PAGASA said the cyclone could slightly weaken from Wednesday.

It is expected to make landfall over the southern portion of Taiwan on Thursday morning before exiting the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) over the Taiwan Strait by Thursday afternoon.
