MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Depression Kristine entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) early Monday morning and it’s forecast to develop into a typhoon before landfall over Northern Luzon towards the weekend.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Kristine was 1,050 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon as of 5 a.m., October 21, carrying maximum wind speeds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center with gustiness of up to 70 kph.

“Since this tropical cyclone is still over the Philippine Sea, further intensification is likely, given the favorable environmental conditions for development over the area,” the state weather service explained.

For now, Pagasa placed Catanduanes under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 where 62 kph to 88 kph wind speeds may be expected in at least 24 hours due to the tropical depression. Affected areas were advised to take caution as minor to moderate impacts to life and property are likely in this weather condition.

Northern Samar and Eastern Samar, meanwhile, were under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1, with wind speeds between 39 kph and 61 kph anticipated. Pagasa said minimal to minor threats to life and property are possible in places under this weather signal.
