At 4 p.m., Crising was located 335 kilometers northeast of Virac, Catanduanes or 545 km east of Baler, Aurora, moving west northwestward at 30 kilometers per hour.
The tropical depression was packing maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 70 km/h.
"Crising will move generally northwestward over the next 24 hours. A landfall scenario over mainland Cagayan by tomorrow (18 July) evening is possible. Afterwards, it will move westward traversing the northern portion of Northern Luzon, and turn west northwestward until it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday (19 July) afternoon,'' PAGASA said.
PAGASA said it may raise Signal No. 2 or 3 while Crising is in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Crising is expected to develop into a tropical storm on Thursday night or early Friday morning and a severe tropical storm by Saturday morning or afternoon.
''However, further intensification over the Philippine Sea and the possibility of reaching severe tropical storm before landfall is not ruled out,'' PAGASA said.
Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas:
Thursday: Batangas, Quezon, the rest of Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Visayas, Zamboanga del Norte, Camiguin, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Davao Occidental, Davao Oriental, and Sarangani.
Friday: Bataan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Camiguin, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Davao Occidental, and Davao Oriental.
Saturday: Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Misamis Occidental, Lanao Del Norte, Camiguin, Dinagat Islands, Davao Occidental, and Davao Oriental.

4,000 individuals in La Union affected by inclement weather receive aid from GMA Kapuso Foundation
Four thousand individuals in Bauang, La Union, who were affected by the inclement weather in the past few weeks have received aid from GMA Kapuso Foundation through its Operation Bayanihan project. According to "24 Oras" Friday, among the beneficiaries of the project are husband and wife Paulo and Erlinda Hipol, whose house was devastated by the strong winds and rains. "Itong bagyo lang ho ang talagang naranasan ko talaga, siya ang nagpabagsak ng bahay ko," said Paulo. Paulo's life was also put at risk when a part of their collapsed house pinned him down. The couple has patched up wood scraps and iron sheets for temporary shelter, but food remains scarce. They have not yet returned to work selling fish because the fishermen have been unable to go out to sea. "Ang panawagan ko lang sa kanila, kung meron silang maitutulong sa akin, maski ano, tanggapin ko, maipatayo ko lang ang bahay ko," said Paulo. GMA Kapuso Foundation distributed relief goods and bread to the 4,000 individuals in Bauang, La Union. The residents were also given hygiene kits that were donated by a sponsor. "Marami po 'yung nasirang bahay, 'yung mga hanapbahay ng tao, hindi sila makapaghanapbuhay dahil malakas pa din ang alon. We are very grateful po sa GMA Kapuso Foundation," said Arlie Alonzo of MSWDO - Bauang, La Union For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects, donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee. Visit the GMA Kapuso Foundation website for more information. According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on Thursday, the number of reported fatalities due to the impact of Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is now at 37.

PAGASA: Tropical cyclone developed in northern monitoring domain; no effects on PH
State weather bureau PAGASA on Friday said a tropical cyclone has developed in the northern part of the agency's monitoring domain. However, PAGASA said the tropical cyclone has no direct effect on the Philippines and is expected to move towards southern Japan. 'Sa kasalukuyan, isang bagyo ang nabuo sa hilagang parte ng PAGASA monitoring domain (PMD) ngunit wala itong direktang epekto sa bansa at kikilos patungong southern Japan,' PAGASA said. (Currently, a tropical cyclone has formed in the northern part of the PAGASA monitoring domain (PMD) but it will not have a direct impact on the country and will move towards southern Japan.) Meanwhile, PAGASA said that from August 8 to 14, a tropical cyclone-like vortex (TCLV1) may enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) but it has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. 'Dahil dito, nababa ang tropical cyclone threat potential sa loob ng forecast period,' PAGASA said. (Because of this, the tropical cyclone threat potential is decreasing within the forecast period.) — BAP, GMA Integrated News
