The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said in a briefing past 5 am on Tuesday that Ofel was located 1,170 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon as of 4 am — still too far and not yet directly affecting the country. PAGASA said Ofel could make landfall in Northern Luzon or Central Luzon on Thursday afternoon or evening, November 14. It may hit land “at or near its peak intensity,” possibly as a typhoon — a category it might reach on Wednesday, November 13.
Signal No. 1 might be raised for parts of Cagayan Valley late Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning, in anticipation of strong winds from Ofel.PAGASA added that “the wind flow coming towards the circulation” of the tropical storm will bring strong to gale-force gusts to these areas:On Thursday, Cagayan and Isabela could have heavy to intense rain from Ofel, while Apayao and Kalinga may see moderate to heavy rain.
Even as the severe tropical storm is already moving away from Luzon, it may still bring moderate to heavy rain to Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, and Batanes on Tuesday.
