High pressure area over China influencing Tropical Depression Salome
Tropical Depression Salome is expected to make landfall in Batanes by Wednesday night or early Thursday, influenced by a high pressure area over mainland China.
As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, Salome was located 215 km North Northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
Signal No. 1 is hoisted over Batanes, the western portion of Babuyan Islands, and the northwestern portion of Ilocos Norte.
Salome may bring moderate to heavy rains over Batanes through Friday afternoon.
The tropical depression may also pass close to or over Babuyan Islands by Thursday morning, and Ilocos Norte by Thursday afternoon.
While Salome is projected to weaken into a remnant low by Friday, PAGASA is not ruling out the possibility of it intensifying into a tropical storm.
