The state weather bureau late Tuesday hoisted tropical cyclone wind signal number 3 over Itbayat, Batanes as Typhoon Jenny maintained its strength over the waters of the province.
Jenny, spotted 305 kilometers east northeast of Itbayat town in Batanes at 10 p.m., was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and up to 190 kph gusts, PAGASA said in its 11 p.m. bulletin.
Signal number 2 was hoisted over the rest of Batanes, which may experience gale-force winds within 24 hours. By Wednesday to Thursday, 50-100 mm of rain could be experienced in Batanes, the northern and western portions of Babuyan Islands, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte. PAGASA said Jenny will continue to weaken due to the increasing dry air entrainment and vertical wind shear.
