Emong, now a tropical storm, has maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 80 km/h. As of 4 p.m., Emong was located 150 km west of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, moving southwestward at 20 km/h.
PAGASA said Emong was forecast to reach severe tropical storm category before making landfall over Ilocos Sur, La Union, or Pangasinan on Thursday evening or early Friday morning.
''This tropical cyclone will emerge over the Luzon Strait on Friday afternoon after crossing the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon,'' PAGASA said. ''Its passage over Northern Luzon will weaken Emong into a tropical storm.''
''Emong is forecast to move generally southwestward tonight before looping over the West Philippine Sea tomorrow morning through afternoon due to its interaction with Tropical Storm Dante. Afterwards, it will move generally northeastward while accelerating,'' PAGASA added.
Both Emong and Tropical Storm Dante will continue to enhance the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), which will bring rains over several parts of the country. —VBL, GMA Integrated News

Bernadette told netizens who spread memes about her, editing photos and captions 'to make me look bad' and those who 'ginawa akong katatawanan,' that she still wishes they are safe well during this season. "Hangad ko pa rin ang kaligtasan niyo at nawa ay ligtas at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan," she said. 'Sa mga patuloy na nagcocomment, nag memessage para magpakita ng pagsuporta, please know that i really appreciate each and everyone.'
