Signal No. 3 remains hoisted in Luzon provinces as 'Kristine' moves over CAR

MANILA, Philippines —Several Luzon areas remained under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 3 on Thursday, October 24, as Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (International name: Trami) continued its path across the island. 

In the state weather bureau’s 11 a.m. tropical cyclone bulletin,  PAGASA said Kristine maintains its strength and is still moving across the Cordillera Administrative Region. According to available data, Kristine is in the vicinity of Bauko, Mountain Province. 

Pagasa has hoisted the following TCWS warnings: 

TCWS No. 3

TCWS No. 2

TCWS No. 1

PAGASA has also issued a gale warning over the seaboard of Luzon and the western and central seaboards of Visayas. 

Kristine is set to leave Luzon’s landmass by afternoon. Before it does, however, it is expected to weaken due to the land interaction.

“Kristine will then move west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility region tomorrow (25 October) afternoon,” PAGASA said.
