MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm Bavi is set to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) Tuesday afternoon, March 17, and will be given the local name “Betty,” state forecasters said, but is expected to weaken.
As of 10 am Tuesday, Bavi was located 1,530 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora, carrying maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the center and gusts of up to 80 km/h, state weather bureau PAGASA said in its 11 am bulletin.
The storm is currently moving towards the west northwest at 20 km/h, in the general direction of northeast Luzon.
No storm signals have been raised so far.
The storm is “expected to weaken” into a tropical depression within the next 24 to 36 hours, PAGASA said, but nonetheless warned people to monitor the storm’s progress.
It is forecast to be 1,030 km east northeast of Casiguran by Wednesday morning, March 18, and closer to the area by Thursday, March 19.
The next information bulletin on Bavi will be released at 5 pm Tuesday. – Rappler.com
