Just a brief Text Update for Nalgae. For more info on this storm as well as on Tropical Storm Nesat, please see the Video Update I’ve posted an hour ago.

Typhoon Nalgae (Quiel) continues to quickly intensify over the Philippine Sea. The center was last located approximately 650km northeast of Manila, 510km east southeast of Aparri, or about 490km east of Tuguegarao. Nalgae is moving westward at 25kph. Maximum sustained winds are now at 175kph gusting to 220kph. This makes Nalgae a Category 2 typhoon.

As of 5pm today, PAGASA has now raised Signal #3 for Cagayan and Isabela. Signal #2 for Northern Aurora, Quirino, Ifugao, Mt. Province, Kalinga, Apayao, Calayan Group of Islands, and Babuyan Group of Island. Signal #1 for Rest of Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya, Pangasinan, Benguet, La Union, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and Abra.

Nalgae is forecast to continue intensifying and could become a Major Category 3 Typhoon later tonight. It will likely maintain that intensity as it makes landfall tomorrow in the Cagayan/Isabela Border. Nalgae will then move through these provinces and into Kalinga-Apayo, Abra and weakening to a Cat 1 by the afternoon, and exit through Ilocos Norte by Saturday evening. It should exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Sunday.
