Today, moderate to heavy with at times intense rains will be experienced over Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, Biliran, and the northern portion of Leyte.

Tomorrow (20 April), moderate to heavy rains will be experienced over Bicol Region and Northern Samar. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains may prevail over the northern portion of Aurora and the eastern portions of mainland Cagayan and Isabela.

Under these conditions and considering the antecedent rainfall over the aforementioned areas, flooding (including flashfloods) and rain-induced landslides are increasingly likely to occur especially in areas identified in hazard maps as highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards.
