Itinaas sa Signal No. 3 ang dalawang lugar sa northern Luzon dahil sa bagyong “Nika,” na posibleng tumama sa kalupaan ng Isabela o Aurora sa Lunes.

“A short period of weakening is expected as NIKA traverses the landmass of Luzon due to land interaction. Re-intensification may occur over the West Philippine Sea,” the state weather bureau said.
