In its 8 a.m. bulletin on Monday, November 24, PAGASA said that Verbena has maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 55 km/h, and central pressure of 1002 hPa. Strong winds may extend outwards up to 200 km from the center.

As of 7 a.m. on Monday, the center of Tropical Depression Verbena was estimated at 290 km East of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte (9.5°N, 128.1°E).

PAGASA said Verbena will move generally west northwestward and will make landfall or pass close over northeastern Mindanao afternoon on November 24 before crossing Visayas and the northern portion of Palawan from November 24 until Wednesday, November 26.

It will then emerge over the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday morning.

Verbena may also intensify slightly prior to making landfall over northeastern Mindanao but will likely cross the Philippine landmass as a tropical depression.

Once it emerges over the West Philippine Sea, it is then forecast to intensify further into a tropical storm, PAGASA said.
