As of Friday, Severe Tropical Storm Kristine maintains its strength as it accelerates West Northwestward over the sea West of Northern Luzon. It will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) region this Friday afternoon.

According to the weather bureau agency, there is a developing forecast situation wherein Kristine will be looping over the West Philippine Sea on Sunday (October 27) and Monday (October 28) and move eastward or east northwestward towards the general direction of the PAR region. However, this scenario heavily depends on the behavior of the tropical cyclone east of the PAR region.

Based on the 5 a.m. bulletin released by Pagasa, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 is still raised over Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, the northern portion of Cavite (Ternate, Maragondon, Naic, Tanza, City of General Trias, Rosario, Cavite City, Noveleta, Kawit, Imus City, Bacoor City), the northern portion of Rizal (Cainta, Taytay, Angono, San Mateo, Rodriguez, Tanay, City of Antipolo, Baras, Teresa, Morong), and the northern portion of mainland Quezon (General Nakar).

While Signal No. 1 is issued on Batanes, the rest of Rizal, the rest of Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, the rest of Quezon including Polillo Islands, Occidental Mindoro including Lubang Islands, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, the northern portion of mainland Palawan (El Nido, Taytay, Araceli, Dumaran, San Vicente) including Calamian, Cuyo, and, Kalayaan Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, the northern and central portions of Sorsogon (Castilla, Magallanes, Pilar, Casiguran, Donsol, Juban, Gubat, City of Sorsogon, Prieto Diaz, Bulan), and the northern and central portions of Masbate (City of Masbate, Uson, Dimasalang, Mobo, Cawayan, Aroroy, Balud, Mandaon, Milagros, Baleno) including Ticao and Burias Islands.

In Visayas were Aklan, Capiz, Antique including Caluya Islands, and the northwestern portion of Iloilo ((Lambunao, Calinog, Bingawan, Janiuay, City of Passi).

Furthermore, a Tropical Depression (10d) is being monitored outside PAR that has a high chance of entering PAR by weekend. Also, a Low Pressure Area (LPA 10e) is monitored within the PAGASA monitoring domain. The potential for LPA (10e) to develop into a Tropical Depression within the next 24 hours still remains low.
