So far, the center of “Goring” is located 225 km east southeast of Basco, Batanes or 270 km east of Calayan, Cagayan, packing maximum sustained winds of 85 kph near the center and with a gustiness of up to 105 kph.
Batanes, Babuyan Islands, and the northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan are expected to experience 50 to 100 mm of rainfall starting today until tomorrow noon.

“Goring” is forecast to move south southwestward or southward over the waters east of Northern Luzon until tomorrow evening, then turn generally south or southeastward for the rest of tomorrow through Sunday afternoon.
