PAGASA said #BasyangPH is momentarily moving west southwestward, and will move generally westward until evening on Thursday before turning west northwestward beginning tomorrow morning, February 6.

The state weather bureau added that #BasyangPH is expected to make its initial landfall over Surigao del Sur between Thursday evening and Friday morning, February 6, 2026.

After crossing Mindanao, #BasyangPH is likely to emerge over Bohol Sea morning on Friday, February 6, and may pass close to make another landfall over Siquijor and the southern portion of Negros Oriental by Friday afternoon.

PAGASA said #BasyangPH may further intensify prior to its initial landfall. It will then slightly weaken as it interacts with the landmass, but it will likely remain a tropical storm.

It may weaken into a tropical depression by Saturday and will be downgraded into a low pressure area by Monday, February 9.
