At 10 a.m., tropical storm Goring was spotted 225 kilometers east-southeast of Basco, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers per hour and up to 105 kph gusts. The cyclone follows a looping track, now moving south-southwestward "slowly."

Tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 was raised in the following areas, where 39-61 kph winds could be expected in 36 hours.

  • Batanes
  • the eastern portion of Babuyan Islands (Babuyan Is., Camiguin Is.)
  • the eastern portion of mainland Cagayan (Santa Ana, Gonzaga, Lal-Lo, Gattaran, Baggao, Peñablanca, Santa Teresita, Buguey, Camalaniugan, Aparri)
  • the eastern portion of Isabela (Maconacon, Divilacan, Palanan, Dinapigue, San Mariano, San Pablo, Cabagan, Tumauini, Ilagan City)

Goring is still on track to reach the typhoon category on Saturday, according to PAGASA.

"It may reach its peak intensity on Sunday evening, after which it is forecast to maintain strength until the end of the forecast period. The potential for developing into a super typhoon is not ruled out," the weather agency said.
