5 p.m., Dec. 6
Tropical Depression Wilma has become nearly stationary over the coastal waters of Eastern Samar, increasing the likelihood of landfall in Eastern or Northern Samar within the next several hours.
PAGASA said the slow movement of Wilma, combined with the shear line and northeast monsoon (amihan), is causing heavy to intense rainfall in Eastern Visayas and parts of the Bicol Region, raising risks of flooding and landslides.
Moderate to rough seas persist along the eastern seaboard of Samar, prompting PAGASA to advise fisherfolk and small-vessel operators to avoid travel due to hazardous conditions.

Tropical Depression Wilma maintains its strength as it moves slowly westward toward Eastern Visayas, with maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h and gusts up to 55 km/h.
The system has shown slow, gradual movement since Friday night, remaining close to 70–170 km east of Borongan City based on successive PAGASA bulletins.
Signal No. 1 is raised in wide areas across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, covering provinces in Bicol, Mimaropa, Eastern and Central Visayas, Western Visayas, and parts of Northern Mindanao.
Monsoon-enhanced winds and heavy rainfall are expected, with risks of flooding, flash floods, and landslides. A gale warning is also in effect, with waves reaching up to 5.5 meters along eastern seaboards.
"Wilma" is forecast to make landfall in Eastern Visayas on Dec. 6, traverse the Visayas until Dec. 7, pass near or over northern Palawan by Dec. 8, and potentially intensify over the West Philippine Sea.

11 a.m., Dec. 5
PAGASA warned that “Wilma” may generate heavy rains even in areas outside its expected landfall zone due to the combined influence of the shear line and the northeast monsoon or “amihan.”
The shear line and amihan are also forecast to enhance rains and winds across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao through the weekend.

Tropical Depression Wilma continues moving southwestward over the Philippine Sea with maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h, while its cloud bands already bring rains to large parts of Visayas, Mindanao, and Zamboanga Peninsula.
PAGASA has raised TCWS No. 1 over parts of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, warning of minor impacts from strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rainfall.
“Wilma” may make initial landfall in Eastern Visayas or Dinagat Islands, with continued rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas expected; public and local governments are urged to prepare for flooding, landslides, and other hazards.
