Crising packs maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts of up to 90 kph. PAGASA warned of heavy rainfall, gale-force winds enhanced by the monsoon, risks of storm surges, and rough sea conditions in several affected areas nationwide. A gale warning has also been hoisted over the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon. Landfall on Friday Meanwhile, minimal to moderate risk of storm surge with estimated heights of 1 to 2 meters was predicted in Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Crising will continue to move northwestward within the next 12 hours. It may make landfall over mainland Cagayan or the Babuyan Islands by Friday afternoon or evening. It is predicted to intensify into a Severe Tropical Storm by Friday afternoon, and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at about the same time. Potential threats PAGASA is also monitoring the activity of Tropical Depression Crising and several tropical cyclone-like vortices that may develop into cyclones inside the PAR over the next two weeks. In its 2 p.m. threat potential forecast, PAGASA said Crising continues to move towards the northern Luzon area, while a tropical cyclone-like vortex may possibly form near northern Luzon within PAR. The said vortex has a high chance of developing into a cyclone within the forecast period of July 18 to 25. In the following days of July 26 to 31, this vortex is expected to move towards Taiwan-Ryuku as another one forms inside the PAR and the Tropical Cyclone Advisory Domain (TCAD), with a low chance of becoming a cyclone. A third vortex is expected to develop within the PAGASA Monitoring Domain (PMD), and may possibly be the remnants of Tropical Storm Crising. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
