Crising maintains strength; Signal No. 1 over 9 areas
Tropical Depression Crising maintains its strength while moving west northwestward over the sea east of the Bicol Region as 9 areas are under Signal No. 1 and with the southwest monsoon affecting Mindanao, and the western sections of Luzon and Visayas, according to the Tropical Cyclone Bulletin posted by PAGASA. The center of Tropical Depression Crising was estimated at 535 kilometers east of Juban, Sorsogon packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center, gustiness of up to 70 kph and moving west northwestward at 15 kph. Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 is hoisted over the following areas: Cagayan including Babuyan Islands Isabela the northeastern portion of Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, Dinalungan, Dipaculao) Quirino Kalinga the eastern portion of Mountain Province (Sadanga, Barlig, Paracelis, Natonin) the eastern portion of Ifugao (Alfonso Lista, Aguinaldo, Mayoyao, Banaue, Hingyon, Lagawe, Lamut) the northeastern portion of Nueva Vizcaya (Kasibu, Quezon, Bagabag, Diadi) Apayao Forecast weather conditions Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to Tropical Depression with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to heavy rains. Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro will have occasional rains due to the southwest monsoon with flash floods or landslides possibly occurring due to moderate to heavy rains. Metro Manila, rest of Central Luzon, rest of CALABARZON, rest of MIMAROPA, Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, rest of Caraga, La Union, and Pangasinan will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon with flash floods or landslides occurring due to moderate to at times heavy rains. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur during severe thunderstorms. Forecast Wind and Coastal Water Conditions Southern Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and the western section of Central Luzon will experience moderate wind speed moving in the southwest to west direction while coastal waters will be moderate. The rest of Luzon will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the southwest to northwest direction and slight to moderate coastal waters. Severe Winds "The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone. Local winds may be slightly stronger/enhanced in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind direction," says PAGASA. There will be minimal to minor impacts from strong winds within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1. The Southwest Monsoon will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds): Batangas, Quezon, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Visayas, Zamboanga del Norte, Camiguin, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Davao Occidental, Davao Oriental, and Sarangani. Coastal Inundation The weather bureau reported that there is a minimal to moderate risk of life-threatening storm surge with peak heights reaching 1.0 to 2.0 m in the next 48 hours over the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of Cagayan including Babuyan Islands and Isabela. Hazards affecting coastal waters There will be rough seas over the following coastal waters: the western seaboard of Palawan; the northern and eastern seaboards of Catanduanes; the northern and western seaboards of Zamboanga del Norte and Camiguin; the southern seaboards of Negros Oriental, Siquijor, Bohol and Southern Leyte; the eastern seaboards of Davao Region; and the western seaboards of Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands. Moderate seas over the following coastal waters: the northwestern seaboard of Occidental Mindoro; the northwestern seaboard of Masbate; the southwestern seaboards of Antique and Negros Occidental; the eastern seaboards of Northern and Eastern Samar. PAGASA warned that mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions. Track and Intensity Outlook Crising will move generally northwestward over the next 48 hours while landfall is possible over mainland Cagayan on Friday evening to early Saturday morning is possible. Crising will then move west northwestward across the northern portion of Northern Luzon, and may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday evening or Sunday morning. "Crising is forecast to reach Tropical Storm category today. It is forecast to continue intensifying over the Philippine Sea and may reach Severe Tropical Storm category on Friday afternoon or evening before its approach to Northern Luzon," said PAGASA. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

What can Florida expect as Invest 93L crosses state, even if it doesn't become tropical storm?
Heavy rainfall with a risk for flash floods are predicted across portions of Florida as Invest 93L moves across the state July 15-16, according to the National Weather Service. As is moves into the Gulf, the National Hurricane Center said it has the potential of strengthening into a tropical depression. ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location ➤ Track all active storms Most spaghetti models on July 15 show the system moving north after it enters the Gulf, with AccuWeather forecasters predicting a possible landfall July 17 Louisiana. The next named storm of the season will be Dexter. Satellite and radar data indicate the shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the system of low pressure located just offshore of the east coast of Florida remains disorganized, according to the 8 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center. This system is forecast to move westward across the Florida Peninsula July 15 and then reach the northeastern Gulf by Wednesday, July 16. Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could form while the system moves across the northeastern and north-central of development, heavy rainfall could produce localized flash flooding over portions of Florida through mid-week. Heavy rainfall could also cause flash flooding for portions of the north-central Gulf Coast during the middle to latter portions of this week. Formation chance through 48 hours: medium, 40 percent Formation chance through 7 days: medium, 40 percent Special note about spaghetti models: Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest performing models to help make its forecasts. National Weather Service offices around Florida warned on X it was still too early to determine specifics about the track, strength or impacts from Invest 93L and advised residents to monitor forecasts for the latest updates. "Regardless of any further development, associated thunderstorm activity and plentiful tropical moisture will bring the threat of isolated to scattered flash flooding to Florida, with a slight risk in place for the central Peninsula Tuesday," the National Weather Service said. "Increasing thunderstorm chances will shift westward with the low along the central Gulf Coast Wednesday (July 16) with additional isolated instances of flash flooding possible." Pensacola, western Panhandle: Heavy rain could lead to flooding concerns by mid to late week with a high risk of rip currents expected by Thursday. Local impacts will depend on whether this system stays near the coast or out over the Gulf. Tallahassee, central Panhandle: Rain chances ramp up Wednesday and Thursday regardless of development Jacksonville, North/Northeast Florida: Regardless of development, heavy rainfall could produce localized flash flooding over portions of Florida and the north-central Gulf coast through the middle to latter portion of this week. Daytona Beach to Stuart, East/Central Florida: Low pressure off of the Florida East Coast will move onshore later this morning/early afternoon and track west across the peninsula. Precipitation along the coast this morning will spread inland with heavy rain. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches through Wednesday expected, with locally higher amounts of 4-plus inches in spots that receive heavy rainfall multiple days in a row. West Palm Beach to Naples, South/Southwest Florida: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across the region again today as the tropical disturbance begins to cross the Florida Peninsula. An isolated severe storm or two will be possible. An isolated severe storm is possible, along with strong wind gusts.

PAGASA watching 3 LPAs outside PAR; more rains on Friday
PAGASA said Thursday afternoon it said continues to monitor three Low Pressure Areas (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). As of 2 p.m., the state weather bureau reported that one of the LPAs had a medium potential of becoming a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, while another had a high potential The third LPA, which was a remnant of Tropical Depression Danas (formerly Bising), is also being monitored outside the PAR and is unlikely to become a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. PAGASA's daily weather forecast on Friday afternoon also reported that the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat continues to bring rains over different parts of the country. The monsoon is predicted to cause occasional rains over Zamboanga Peninsula, and cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Visayas, the rest of Mindanao, Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the effects of the monsoon. Possible flash floods or landslides may occur in some areas as a result of said weather conditions. Meanwhile, the northern and western sections of Luzon will be having moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough waters, while the rest of the country will be having light to moderate winds with slight to moderate coastal waters. Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:34 a.m. on Friday. — Jiselle Anne Casucian/RF, GMA Integrated News

North Carolina facing another flood threat just days after Chantal's deadly flooding
RALEIGH, N.C. – Days after deadly flooding in North Carolina from Tropical Depression Chantal, the flooding threat has returned, with more heavy rain expected to fall over the Carolinas and up through the Interstate 95 Corridor. Leftover moisture from Chantal brought nearly a foot of rain across parts of the mid-Atlantic toward the end of the July Fourth weekend and into this week, including in North Carolina. At least four deaths have been caused by flooding in North Carolina this week. One woman was killed in Orange County, North Carolina, on Monday when she was caught in the flooding while heading to work, according to the Sheriff's Office. The Chatham County Sheriff's Office said two missing boaters on Jordan Lake were later found dead. Another 83-year-old flooding victim was killed when her vehicle was swept away by floodwaters on Sunday. This multiday threat comes from extreme moisture fueling rounds of heavy rain beginning Wednesday afternoon with some potentially severe thunderstorms. Flood Watches are in place through Wednesday night from central North Carolina through northern New Jersey. NOAA's Weather Prediction Center is forecasting a Level 3 out of 4 risk for excessive rainfall for parts of North Carolina and Virginia and Maryland, including Richmond and the Washington, DC-Baltimore area. That zone expanded into the Delmarva Peninsula late Wednesday morning. 4 Flooding seen in Chapel Hill caused by the remnants of Tropical Depression Chantal on July 6, 2025. Allison Bashor via Storyful 'Any one of these storms is going to be capable of tapping into that rich moisture, therefore producing enhanced rainfall rates,' FOX Weather Meteorologist Marrisa Torres said. Between Sunday and Monday, areas, including Chapel Hill, received more than 10 inches of rain, leading to flooding. Some of the same areas flooded by Chantal's leftovers earlier this week are forecast to see up to 3 inches of rain through the rest of the week. With the ground already saturated and more water heading into rivers, this could lead to additional flooding. 4 The flood forecast in the mid-Atlantic region through Friday. FOX Weather 4 A road in North Carolina destroyed by the flooding. Facebook/Sheriff Mike Roberson Areas including Raleigh, Charlotte and the surrounding areas are forecast to see heavy downpours on Wednesday night. The Charlotte metro area is forecast to see between 2 and 3 inches through Sunday. Have a backup weather-warning system This week has been incredibly heartbreaking for multiple states, including Texas, New Mexico and North Carolina, where flooding has claimed many lives and many remain missing after the flooding in Texas. Some of these flooding tragedies occurred overnight when people were least prepared. 4 The rain forecast on the East coast for this week. FOX Weather It's important to have multiple ways to receive severe weather and flooding notifications from the National Weather Service. Going to bed with your volume up on your phone to receive emergency alerts and having a weather radio would ensure that if one method fails, you have a backup. If you live near a river or waterway, have a flooding emergency plan. These flooding situations occurred quickly. In Texas, the Guadalupe River surged over 20 feet within an hour. For many people, it was too late to leave.
