PAGASA said there is a minimal to moderate risk of storm surge with peak heights of around 1.0 to 2.0 m above normal tide levels in the next 48 hours over the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, and Zambales. 

The weather bureau said Kristine is forecast to move west northwestward to westward over the next 48 hours and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) region this afternoon.

It said there is a developing forecast situation wherein Kristine will be looping over the West Philippine Sea on Sunday and Monday and move generally eastward 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,” it said.
