In its morning press briefing, the weather bureau said that Inday was 995 km east northeast of Basco, Batanes early Friday morning and is forecast to move northwest at 15 kph. It has maximum sustained winds of 85 kph near the center and gustiness of 105 kph.
The storm is not expected to make landfall and is forecast to be outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday morning.
PAGASA said the storm will continue to enhance the southwest monsoon over most of Luzon.
