Tropical Storm Jenny is expected to gain strength as it approaches and will develop into a severe tropical storm category. It is possible that it will develop into a typhoon tomorrow or Tuesday,” Villamil said.
PAGASA expects heavy rains in extreme Northern Luzon – particularly in Batanes, Babuyan Islands and the northern portions of mainland Cagayan, Apayao and Ilocos Norte on Wednesday or Thursday.
