00:00 Good afternoon. Let's update on the news that Jenny was hit by a typhoon this Saturday, September 30, 2023.
00:09 Jenny has an international name, "Nakoino". This is a Japanese word that means "puppy" or "tuta" in Tagalog.
00:17 This is Jenny. Earlier at 4 p.m., her center was hit by the last lightning strike at 995 km east of Central Luzon.
00:28 The strong winds were blowing at 65 km/h near the center and the typhoon was at 80 km/h.
00:36 It was moving in the direction of northwest at a speed of 10 km/h.
00:42 Jenny's craft or extension was carrying heavy rain.
00:47 There were heavy rains and landslides in the areas of Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas.
00:57 Meanwhile, Southwest Monsoon was also carrying heavy rain, landslides, and landslides in the areas of Mimaropa,
01:07 which is in the southern part of Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula.
01:13 So, our countrymen, in those areas, we are being careful of moderate to at times heavy rains, especially in the areas where it was raining the previous days.
01:23 To put a time here, in Metro Manila and the remaining parts of our country,
01:29 from heavy rain to heavy rain, we are still having chances of localized thunderstorms.
01:35 Our Regional Services Division will issue a rainfall advisory, heavy rainfall warning, or thunderstorm advisory if needed.
01:45 This is the latest track of the Jenny's storm.
01:49 This area, the yellow-orange area, is the area with strong winds, at least 39 km/h strong winds, and this enclosed area,
02:00 this is what we call the area of probability, or cone of probability.
02:05 So, anywhere within this area, the center of Jenny's storm can hit or reach.
02:12 This is what we expect, Jenny's movement is from northwest to Monday, and by tomorrow,
02:21 this could possibly grow and become a severe tropical storm, and then it could possibly become a typhoon category when late Monday arrives, or not by Tuesday.
02:34 We are not expecting or not excluding the possibility of a landfall scenario or close contact scenario over extreme northern Luzon,
02:48 because we can see that this is within our area of probability, and also in the mainland Cagayan area.
02:58 What are we expecting with regards to heavy rains?
03:03 By Tuesday or Wednesday, we are expecting Batanes and Baboyan Island to have heavy rains,
03:10 and this Jenny's storm is enhanced or different from our Habagat or Southwest Monsoon.
03:15 By tomorrow, the occasional rains are possible, mostly in the western portions of southern Luzon and also in Visayas.
03:23 So, we are not excluding the possibility of a weather advisory for the Southwest Monsoon in the next few hours or days.
03:33 For strong winds, we are not yet able to raise the tropical cyclone wind signal in any part of our country,
03:41 but by Monday, it is possible to raise the signal over extreme northern Luzon tomorrow or on Monday.
03:50 But we are not excluding the possibility that this could happen earlier, depending on the changes in our forecast scenarios.
03:59 And also, Jenny's Habagat is enhanced, so for tomorrow, we are expecting strong winds in Palawan, Romblon, a large portion of Visayas, and Dinagat Island.
04:13 On Monday, a large portion of Mimaropa and Visayas, and also Dinagat Island.
04:20 On Monday, it is possible for Jenny to have a strong wind until the coastal waters of extreme northern Luzon and northern mainland Cagayan.
04:32 So, we are warning our fellow fishermen, small fishermen, and if possible, we are trying to avoid those areas.
04:41 And also, we are not excluding the possibility that we will have a gale warning in the next few days.
04:48 And that is the latest from the Weather Forecasting Center of Pag-asa. Veronica Torres, Nagulat.
