Tropical Depression Jenny has slightly intensified and intermittent to frequent moderate to heavy rains will affect Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, and Quezon, PAGASA reported in its Severe Weather Bulletin issued on Monday evening.

Due to the Tropical Depression, light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains will be experienced over the rest of Luzon including Metro Manila, rest of Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula.

Between noontime on Tuesday and Wednesday midnight, intermittent to frequent moderate to heavy rains may affect Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Benguet and Pangasinan. Light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains may be experienced over Western Visayas and the rest of Luzon.

Residents in the affected areas, particularly those living in areas prone to landslides and flash floods, are advised to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 is hoisted over the following areas:

  • Cagayan
  • Isabela
  • Quirino
  • Nueva Vizcaya
  • Apayao
  • Abra
  • Kalinga
  • Mountain Province
  • Ifugao
  • Benguet
  • Ilocos Norte
  • Ilocos Sur
  • La Union
  • Pangasinan
  • Aurora
  • Nueva Ecija
  • Tarlac
  • northern portion of Zambales
  • northern portion of Quezon including Polillo Islands
  • Catanduanes

Areas under TCWS are advised to take precautionary measures against potentially strong winds.

Sea travel is risky over the seaboards of areas under TCWS due to potentially rough sea conditions.

Meanwhile, occasional gusty conditions may also occur across most of Luzon and Visayas due to the southwest monsoon.

As of 10 p.m. on Monday, the center of Tropical Depression Jenny was estimated at 530 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes packing maximum winds of up to 55 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph and moving west over the Philippine Sea at 20 kph.

Jenny may make landfall over the eastern coastline of Isabela-Aurora area on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. — BAP, GMA News
