THE state-run weather agency said on Friday that 'Goring' has intensified into a severe tropical storm (STS) and may even further reach the typhoon category by Saturday.
In its 5 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Signal No. 1 remains up over Batanes, the eastern portion of Babuyan Islands , the eastern portion of mainland Cagayan , and the eastern portion of Isabela in Luzon.
For most of the forecast period, Goring may move slowly but it has a greater chance to rapidly escalate and reach typhoon category by Saturday, the state weather bureau said. 'Goring is forecast to steadily strengthen and may attain its maximum strength by Monday, potentially becoming a super typhoon,' Pagasa said.
