"In the next 24 hours, the combined effects of the Northeast Monsoon and 'AURING' will bring strong breeze conditions with occasionally higher gusts over the areas where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) #1 is in effect, as well as over Aurora, Quezon, Marinduque, Romblon, Oriental Mindoro, Batanes, Babuyan Islands, the northern portions of Ilocos Norte and mainland Cagayan, Cuyo Islands, Cagayancillo Islands, and the rest of Visayas and Bicol Region," banggit pa ng PAGASA.

Sa kabila niyan, maliitang pinsala lang ang inaasahang matamo ng mga medium to high risk structures.

Bahagyang pinsala naman sa mga kabahayang yari sa very light materials at exposed communities ang tinatayang magagawa ng bagyo sa ngayon. 

Sa kabila niyan, posibleng mawasak nang husto ang mga palayan na kasalukuyang nasa flowering stage na. — James Relativo
