In a briefing at 5 am on Thursday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said Sarah is already 425 kilometers east northeast of Aparri, Cagayan, or 340 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes. It now has maximum winds of 95 km/h from the previous 75 km/h and gustiness of up to 115 km/h from the previous 90 km/h.

"If these changes [in Sarah's track] continue, there is a possibility that the TCWS over Batanes and Babuyan Islands will be lifted in the succeeding bulletins," added PAGASA.
