The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 over nine areas in Luzon on Thursday, July 17, as tropical depression “Crising” maintained its strength while moving west-northwestward over the Philippine Sea.
As of 4 a.m., the center of Crising was located 535 kilometers east of Juban, Sorsogon.
It had maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 70 kph. It was moving west-northwest at 15 kph.
In anticipation of strong winds, Signal No. 1 was hoisted over the following areas as of early Thursday:
* Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands
* Isabela
* Apayao
* Quirino
* Kalinga
* Northeastern Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, Dinalungan, Dipaculao)
* Eastern Mountain Province (Sadanga, Barlig, Paracelis, Natonin)
* Eastern Ifugao (Alfonso Lista, Aguinaldo, Mayoyao, Banaue, Hingyon, Lagawe, Lamut)
* Northeastern Nueva Vizcaya (Kasibu, Quezon, Bagabag, Diadi)
PAGASA said areas under Signal No. 1 may experience minimal to minor impacts from strong winds. However, local gusts may be slightly stronger in coastal and upland communities exposed to prevailing winds.
The highest wind signal that may be raised during Crising’s passage is Signal No. 3.
Rainfall outlook
Heavy rainfall associated with tropical depression Crising, combined with the habagat, is expected to bring widespread rain and possible flooding to affected areas.
On Thursday, heavy to intense (100 to 200 mm) rainfall may prevail over Occidental Mindoro, Antique, and Negros Occidental.
Moderate to heavy (50-100 mm) rainfall is forecast over Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Palawan, Iloilo, Guimaras, Negros Oriental, Cebu, and Siquijor.
On Friday, heavy to intense rainfall may affect Batanes, Cagayan, Apayao, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Abra, Kalinga, Isabela, Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Antique, and Negros Occidental.
Moderate to heavy rainfall may persist in La Union, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, Aurora, Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Iloilo, Guimaras, and Negros Oriental.
On Saturday, heavy to intense precipitation may prevail over Batanes, Cagayan, Apayao, Ilocos Norte, Abra, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, and Antique.
Meanwhile, moderate to heavy rains may continue to affect Kalinga, Mountain Province, Metro Manila, Benguet, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, Palawan, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, Iloilo, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental.
PAGASA also warned of a minimal to moderate risk of life-threatening storm surge in low-lying or exposed coastal areas of Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands, and Isabela. Peak heights may reach 1 to 2 meters within the next 48 hours.
Landfall
Crising is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm within the next few hours and may reach severe tropical storm status by Friday afternoon or evening, July 18, as it continues to move over the Philippine Sea.
PAGASA said a landfall over mainland Cagayan is possible between Friday night and early Saturday, July 19.
After landfall, Crising is forecast to traverse the northern portion of Northern Luzon and may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday evening or Sunday morning, July 20.
