Tropical Depression Crissing maintains its strength and slightly slows down while moving westward, Pagasa reported on its 8 am severe weather bulletin, Thursday, May 13.
At 7:00 AM today, the center of Tropical Depression “CRISING” was estimated based on all available data at 405 km East of Davao City.
Between today and tomorrow (14 May) morning, moderate to heavy rains over Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro, and Davao del Norte.
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. Adjacent or nearby areas may also experience flooding in the absence of such rainfall occurrence due to surface runoff or swelling of river channels.
PAGASA Regional Services Divisions may issue local thunderstorm/rainfall advisories and heavy rainfall warnings while the Hydrometeorology Division and River Basin Flood Forecasting and Warning Centers may issue General Flood Advisories and Basin Flood Bulletins as appropriate.
Strong breeze to near gale conditions is likely over the localities where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1 is in effect, especially in the coastal and mountainous areas of these localities.
In the next 24 hours, under the influence of Tropical Depression Crising, moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the eastern seaboard of Mindanao (1.2 to 3.0 m). Mariners of small seacrafts are advised not to venture out over these waters. Inexperienced mariners of these vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions.
Tropical Depression Crising is forecast to weaken into a remnant low on Sunday (16 May) early morning while passing over Palawan and dissipate shortly afterwards. However, due to the expected deterioration in the circulation of the tropical depression while traversing Mindanao, there is a possibility that the Tropical Depression Crising may weaken into a remnant low within in the next 36 to 48 hours.
Tropical Depression Crising Signal No.1
- Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro, Davao del Norte, and Davao City
