In the next 12 hours, it is expected to move across the landmass of mainland Calabarzon and Polillo Islands, and is forecast to be over the waters east of Quezon or Aurora by evening or early tomorrow morning.
“Aghon” reaching the typhoon category within the Philippine Area of Responsibility is still a possibility, although PAGASA said it will likely occur far from the landmass.
