Heavy Rainfall
Today through tomorrow morning, moderate to heavy with at times intense rains are likely over Visayas, Bicol
Region, MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, and Caraga Region. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains are also
possible over Metro Manila, Bulacan, Bataan, and the rest of Mindanao.
Under these conditions, scattered flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are possible
especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps
Severe Winds
Strong winds (i.e., strong breeze to near gale conditions) with occasional gusts will be experienced within any of the
areas where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1 is in effect during the passage of the tropical depression. This may
generally cause up to very light damage to structures and vegetation.
The enhanced easterly flow north of the tropical depression may also bring occasionally gusts reaching strong
breeze to near gale in strength over Extreme Northern Luzon and the coastal and upland/mountainous areas of the
eastern section of Luzon in the next 24 hours.
In the next 24 hours, “LANNIE” will bring moderate to rough seas over the coastal waters of the country, especially in
areas where TCWS #1 is in effect. These conditions are risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to
take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
Landfall areas in the past 3 hours: Bucas Grande Island, Socorro, Surigao del Norte (4:30 AM); Cagdianao, Dinagat
Islands (5:00 AM).
On the forecast track, the tropical depression will move generally west northwestward over the Visayas archipelago
until tonight or tomorrow early morning, when it is expected to emerge over the Sulu Sea and cross the Cuyo
archipelago. Afterwards, the depression may make another landfall in the vicinity of northern Palawan or Calamian
Islands tomorrow morning before emerging over the West Philippine Sea a couple of hours later. Throughout this
entire period, “LANNIE” is forecast to remain within tropical depression category, with a possibility of slight
intensification once over the Sulu Sea or West Philippine Sea.
By late Tuesday through early Thursday, “LANNIE” is forecast to move generally northwestward over the West
Philippine Sea. Improvement in environmental conditions will allow the depression to intensify. It may likely be
upgraded into a tropical storm by Wednesday early morning.
“LANNIE” is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Thursday morning. Outside the PAR, the cyclone
is forecast to turn more north northwestward while heading towards southern mainland China. It will continue
intensifying during this period and may reach severe tropical storm category by Saturday morning.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to
take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly
susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall
warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please
monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
