Wind signals have been lifted as tropical depression "Crising" has weakened into a low pressure area (LPA) at 8 a.m., Friday, May 14, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its final severe weather bulletin.
The LPA was over Piagapo, Lanao del Sur at around 10 a.m.
PAGASA said the weather disturbance will continue to move west or west-northwest before emerging over the Sulu Sea in the next six to 12 hours.
While tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 has been lifted, PAGASA said that light to moderate with at times heavy rains may persist over Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro, Davao del Norte, Davao City, Davao del Sur, Cotabato, Maguindanao, Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, and Misamis Occidental.
"Under these conditions, isolated to scattered flooding, including flash floods, and rain-induced landslides are possible during heavy or prolonged rainfall especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps," PAGASA warned.
"Adjacent or nearby areas may also experience flooding in the absence of such rainfall occurrence due to surface runoff or swelling of river channels," it said.
Crising had developed into a tropical depression early Thursday morning, May 13, then rapidly intensified into a tropical storm around noon.
It weakened into a tropical depression shortly after its landfall over Baganga, Davao Oriental at 8:20 p.m., Thursday.
