Tropical Storm Aere is expected to intensify  within the next 12 hours as latest satellite imagery depicts deep central convection began to re-organize. Due to the favorable upper level conditions and warm  sea surface temperatures, intensification is possible. Tropical Storm Aere should continue to intensify slightly before making it's landfall near Isabela-Aurora area by early tomorrow morning . The system is forecast to begin weakening over the rugged mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and due to increase vertical wind shear and dry air entrainment. Because of this also, TS Aere is expected to change it's directions heading Northward towards Okinawa Island, Japan and begins to interact with the mid-latitude westerlies.

While here are is the latest PSWS issued by PAGASA. Proper precautionary measures must be implemented against flash floods, mudslides, landslides and possible storm surge especially along the Eastern Coasts of Luzon facing the Pacific Ocean.
