TS Man-yi intensifies, may make landfall this weekend

Tropical Storm Man-yi, currently outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), has slightly intensified and is moving towards the country.

As of Wednesday evening, Man-yi was located 1,705 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas, with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts of 90 kph.

The storm is expected to become a severe tropical storm by Thursday evening and a typhoon by Friday morning due to rapid intensification over warm waters.

Man-yi is forecast to continue moving southwestward over the next 12 hours.

There is still high uncertainty regarding the track of Man-yi, but a potential landfall in Southern Luzon, possibly near Metro Manila, is being considered for the weekend.
