'Lando' Slightly Intensifies
MANILA - Tropical storm "Lando" has slightly intensified as it moves toward Northern Luzon, state weather bureau PAGASA said Thursday.
In its 11 a.m. advisory, PAGASA said the storm was last seen 1055 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora.
The storm is packing 75 kph winds near the center and gusts of up to 90 kph. It is expected to move west at 17 kph.
If the storm retains its speed and course, it will be nearing the Aurora-Isabela area by Saturday, potentially making landfall in Isabela by Sunday.
Based on PAGASA's forecast, after passing through Isabela, Lando will traverse Ilocos Norte by Monday morning.
The northeast monsoon or habagat, in the meantime, is still affecting Northern Luzon, bringing cloudy skies with light rains over Cordillera, Ilocos, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon.
Cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms will also persist Thursday and Friday in Metro Manila and Bicol and the provinces of Rizal, Quezon and Samar.
The rest of Visayas and Mindanao will have fair weather Thursday but rainshowers may dampen Bacolod and Iloilo on Friday.
Fisher folk are advised not to venture out over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and over the eastern seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon.
