PHTropical Depression Kiyapo is expected to potentially make landfall in the Babuyan Islands during the late afternoon or evening of Friday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa). As of 4 p.m., the system was located 640 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, moving northwestward at 25 kph with maximum sustained winds of 45 kph and gusts up to 55 kph. Pagasa forecasts that Kiyapo will intensify into a tropical storm by Friday and may reach severe tropical storm status after passing the Babuyan Islands. The system is also anticipated to bring heavy to intense rainfall (100–200 mm) to Cagayan, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte from Thursday to Friday afternoon, with moderate to heavy rain affecting Isabela, Batanes, and Ilocos Sur on the same dates. Kiyapo is projected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility by Saturday morning.
