LPA inside PAR is now Tropical Depression Huaning
At 4 a.m., Huaning's center was estimated to be located at 520 km east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, the weather bureau said in its 5 a.m. tropical cyclone bulletin.
Huaning has maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 55 km/h, and central pressure of 1008 hPa.
The tropical depression is moving north northwestward at 10 km/h.
From Huaning's center, strong winds are extending outwards up to 270 km.
No tropical cyclone wind signals (TCWS) were raised.
"HUANING is unlikely to directly affect the country within the next 48 hours," PAGASA said.
The Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan however will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms on Monday due to trough or extension of Huaning. Flash floods or landslides may result due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
Up to moderate seas (up to 2.0 m) will be experienced in the following areas on Monday:
• the seaboards of Batanes;
the northern and western seaboards of Babuyan Islands;
the northwestern and western seaboards of Ilocos Norte; and
the western seaboards of Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, Lubang Island, and Palawan.
"Mariners of motor bancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions," PAGASA said.
Huaning is expected to move northward until Monday night then turn north northeastward on Tuesday early morning toward Ryukyu Islands in Japan.
It is forecast to exit PAR between late Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
PAGASA will issue the next tropical cyclone bulletin at 11 a.m.
Habagat, localized thunderstorms
Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Palawan. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may occur.
The rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. Flash floods or landslides may possibly result during severe thunderstorms.
Coastal waters in the western section of Luzon will be moderate, then slight to moderate in the rest of the country.
