“May kaliitan pa rin ang bagyo ngunit binabantayan natin dahil sa compact itong bagyong ito ay posible pa rin natin maranasan yong malaking damage na puwedeng dalhin ng bagyong Rolly kapag tumama ito sa kalupaan,” weather specialist Raymond Ordinario said in a Friday afternoon press briefing.
“Inaasahan pa rin na patuloy na lalakas habang ito ay nasa Philippine Sea at pwede niya maabot ang intensity up to 195 kph. Sa ngayon may maliit na tiyansa na maging super typhoon ngunit nasa dagat kaya hindi natin niru-rule out ang ganong posibilidad na magkaroon ng posibilidad na magkaroon ng super typhoon,” he added.
