Manila, Oct. 9 -- Tropical Storm Nakri is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) within the day, but is unlikely to affect the weather, a forecaster said on Thursday.

"It is forecast to be in the northeastern boundary of PAR, so it will not directly affect the weather condition in any part of the country," Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Chenel Dominguez said.

The cyclone was located 1,505 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon as of 3 a.m.

Once it enters PAR, it will be given the local name Quedan.
