TROPICAL Depression “Vinta” entered the Philippine area of responsibility on Tuesday morning,

leading authorities to place at least two provinces in Northern Luzon under public storm warnings, according to the state weather bureau.

Rene Paciente, the weather bureau’s senior forecaster and head of the forecasting section,

said Vinta was 820 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes at 4 p.m. Tuesday and

is expected to make landfall in the area of Isabela and Aurora provinces by Thursday.

 

Public Storm Warning Signal No. 1

was thus hoisted over the two provinces and the weather bureau warned that Vinta, the fifth storm of October and the 22nd for the year, may still intensify since was still at sea.

In fact, Paciente said Vinta strengthen its winds from 45 kph on Tuesday morning to 55 kph in the afternoon while its changed its west northwesterly director to westward at 26 kph.

 

Paciente said the tropical depression may cross Isabela,

Abra, Mt. Province

and Ilocos Sur before it exits by Friday morning

and warned that it may still develop into a tropical storm.

It may also hit Metro Manila if it continues its westward tack.

 

The rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.

 

Moderate to occasionally strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Northern and Eastern Luzon and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to occasionally rough.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast to northwest with slight to moderate seas.
