Latest satellite image shows the convection associated with Tropical Storm Linfa has now moved ashore into Northern Luzon. TS Linfa made landfall in Isabela Province earlier this morning and is now moving across Cagayan. Heavy rains are being reported in numerous towns in the area, along with gusty winds. We expect the stormy conditions to linger for the next 6 hours or so.
