At 10:00 AM today, the Low Pressure Area (LPA) was estimated based on all available data at 25 km East of Calayan, Cagayan (19.3 °N, 121.7 °E) and is now passing very close to the Babuyan Islands. This LPA may develop into a Tropical Depression in the next 48 hours and will be named "HELEN". Owing to its proximity to land, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1 may be immediately raised over some provinces in Northern Luzon in the initial Severe Weather Bulletin. This may result in disruption of maritime travel in these areas.
