Paolo intensifies into severe tropical storm
Severe Tropical Storm Paolo has intensified, with maximum sustained winds of 95 km/h and gustiness up to 115 km/h.
As of 10 p.m. Thursday, Paolo was located 320 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora, moving westward at 30 km/h.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3 is now raised over extreme northern Aurora, central and southern Isabela, northern Quirino, northern Nueva Vizcaya, Mountain Province, Ifugao, and northern Benguet.
Residents in these areas may experience threats to life and property due to strong winds.
Paolo is expected to make landfall over southern Isabela or northern Aurora on Friday morning, October 3.
Further intensification into a typhoon before landfall is not ruled out, which may warrant the raising of Wind Signal No. 4.
Paolo will bring heavy rains across Luzon through Friday evening, with torrential rainfall expected in Isabela, Quirino, and Aurora.
The storm is expected to be out of the Philippine area of responsibility on Saturday morning.
