Typhoon Rolly intensifies, may make landfall Sunday evening

Typhoon Rolly has intensified with maximum sustained winds of 165 kph and gustiness of up to 205 kph.

It is located 1,100 kilometers east of Central Luzon and moving west at 15 km/h.

PAGASA forecasts Rolly may make landfall over the Aurora-Quezon area on Sunday evening, November 1, or early Monday morning, November 2.

After landfall, it is projected to cross Central Luzon and possibly exit landmass via Pangasinan or Zambales.

PAGASA Weather Specialist Raymond Ordinario urged the public to "take the necessary precautions since we still have time to prepare for the approaching Typhoon Rolly."

The typhoon's trough will bring light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol, the Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Zamboanga Peninsula.

Heavy to intense rains may also fall over Northern and Central Luzon and Bicol Region starting Saturday or Sunday.

PAGASA warned it may issue tropical cyclone wind signal (TCWS) number 3 and 4, associated with destructive typhoon-force winds.

Rough to very rough seas will be experienced over the seaboards of northern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, with a gale warning in effect.
