AGHON is forecast to move generally west northwestward to northwestward from today until tomorrow while slowly intensifying. On the track forecast, AGHON is forecast to make landfall over the southern portion of Eastern Samar or Dinagat Islands by tomorrow morning as a tropical storm. Afterwards, AGHON will pass north northwestward through the coast of Northern Samar, then may possibly make another landfall over the southeastern portion of Bicol Region (Sorsogon, Albay, or Catanduanes) by tomorrow evening as a tropical storm. On Sunday, AGHON will begin recurving generally northward or north northeastward over the waters east of Luzon while starting to continuously intensify. Current forecast scenario shows intensification into a severe tropical storm by Sunday and into a typhoon by Monday.
