"Per latest track and intensity forecast, the highest wind signal that will likely be hoisted is Wind Signal No. 3 in anticipation of storm-force conditions associated with PAENG," sabi ng PAGASA.

"The surge of the Northeast Monsoon enhanced will also bring strong winds with gusts reaching gale-force strength over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Provinces, the northern and eastern portions of mainland Cagayan, the eastern portions of Isabela and the northern portion of Apayao."

Posibleng mag-landfall o lumapit nang husto ang bagyong "Paeng" sa Catanduanes ng Sabado ng umaga. Matapos nito, pwede uli itong sumalpok sa kalupaan ng Aurora o silangang baybayin ng Quezon (kasama ang Polilio Islands) sa Linggo ng umaga.

Tinatayang lalo pang lalakas ang sama ng panahon sa pagkilos nito sa mainit na tubig ng Philippine Sea at maaaring maging severe tropical storm sa loob ng 24 oras.

Dahil sa landfall scenario sa Bicol Region, bumababa ang tiyansa na umabot ito sa pagiging typhoon.
