On September 4, 100-200 mm of rain is forecasted in Babuyan Islands, Apayao, Abra, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur, while Batanes, mainland Cagayan, and the rest of Cordillera and Ilocos Region may receive 50-100 mm.

Severe Winds:

The enhanced Southwest Monsoon, along with #EntengPH, will bring strong to gale-force winds to many areas, including the Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Bulacan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, and Visayas.

These conditions will persist until September 4, affecting similar areas.

Hazards Affecting Coastal Waters:

In the next 24 hours, rough seas and gale-force winds will affect the eastern and southern seaboards of Luzon, making sea travel dangerous for small vessels. The northern seaboard of Northern Luzon and the western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, as well as Western Visayas, will also experience moderate to rough seas. Mariners of small boats should avoid going out to sea in these areas. Slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere in the country, and caution is still advised.

Track and Intensity Outlook:

#EntengPH is moving northwest and may make landfall over Isabela or Cagayan this on the afternoon or evening of September 2.

A slight westward shift could bring it to the northern part of Aurora. By early tomorrow, #EntengPH will turn west-northwestward, potentially making another landfall over Babuyan Islands.

The storm will intensify as it moves over the Luzon Strait and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by September 4 or 5.

#EntengPH may strengthen into a severe tropical storm by September 4 and could even reach typhoon status by September 5 or 6 as it crosses the Philippine Sea.
