PAGASA lifts remaining storm signal due to 'Lannie'
MANILA, Philippines — PAGASA on Tuesday noon lifted the remaining tropical cyclone wind signal in the country due to Tropical Depression "Lannie" as it continues to approach the West Philippine Sea.
The weather bureau in its 11 a.m. bulletin said Lannie was last seen at 165 kilometers west of Coron in Palawan.
It packs 45 kilometers per hour maximum sustained winds, and gustiness of up to 55 kph.
This weather disturbance moves west northwestward at a speed of 25 kph.
Before noon, Signal No. 1 was up over the northern portion of Palawan or in El Nido, Taytay, Dumaran and Araceli, including Calamian Islands.
But PAGASA said moderate to heavy rains are still likely in the province including Calamian, Kalayaan, and Cuyo Islands today.
Metro Manila, meanwhile, could see light to moderate with at times heavy rains as well as Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and the rest of Mimaropa.
"Under these conditions," forecasters said, "isolated to scattered flooding (including flashfloods) and rain-induced landslides are likely especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps."
Gale warning remains in effect over the northern and western seaboards of northern Luzon due to Lannie. Moderate to rough seas are also seen over the rest of the coastal waters in the country.
PAGASA said Lannie is seen to continue moving northwestward over the West Philippine Sea away from the country until Wednesday.
It is expected to leave the country's jurisdiction by afternoon or evening of that day.
Disaster officials have yet to report on the number of individuals affected by Lannie, but said 30 were preemptively evacuated.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council added 221 passengers were stranded in Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Western Visayas and Eastern Visayas due to the tropical depression.
