Tropical Storm 'Agaton' has maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 90 km/h, and central pressure of 998 hPa.
It is moving west northwestward slowly. Strong winds or higher extend outwards up to 180 km from the center.
TROPICAL CYCLONE WIND SIGNALS (TCWS) IN EFFECT
TCWS No. 2 (Gale-force winds prevailing or expected within the next 24 hours)
VISAYAS:
Potential impacts of winds: Minor to moderate threat to life and property
TCWS No. 1 (Strong winds prevailing or expected within the next 36 hours)
LUZON:
VISAYAS:
MINDANAO:
Potential impacts of winds: Minimal to minor threat to life and property
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
Today through tomorrow afternoon, 'Agaton' is forecast to slowly loop in the vicinity of northeastern portion of Leyte and the southern portions of Samar and Eastern Samar before emerging over the Philippine Sea by tomorrow evening as another tropical cyclone with international name 'Malakas' begins to interact with it.
'Malakas' is forecast to weaken into a tropical depression due to the frictional effects of land on its circulation. Any significant intensification will likely be inhibited by the binary interaction of 'Agaton' and 'Malakas'. Further weakening into a remnant low is likely by Wednesday evening as 'Agaton' becomes assimilated within the circulation of 'Malakas'.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall
Today: Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over Eastern Visayas, Masbate, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, and the northern and central portions of Cebu including Bantayan and Camotes Islands. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Dinagat Islands, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and the rest of Bicol Region and Visayas.
Tomorrow: Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over Sorsogon, Masbate, Eastern Visayas. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains Dinagat Islands, Romblon, and the rest of Visayas.
Under these conditions and considering significant antecedent rainfall, scattered to widespread flooding (including flooding) and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps.
Severe Winds
Winds may reach gale-force in strength in any of the areas where Wind Signal No. 2 is hoisted throughout the passage of Tropical Storm 'Agaton'.
Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale conditions) will be experienced within any of the areas where Wind Signal No. 1 is currently in effect.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
In the next 24 hours, rough to very rough seas (2.8 to 4.5 m) will prevail over the seaboards of areas where Wind Signals No. 2 and 1 are hoisted. These conditions may be risky for most seacrafts. Mariners of small seacrafts are advised to remain in port or take shelter, while those operating larger vessels are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
In the next 24 hours, moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 3.4 m) will also prevail over the remaining seaboards of the country that are not under any wind signal or gale warning. These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
TROPICAL CYCLONES
'Agaton' is the country's first tropical cyclone for 2022, developed into a tropical depression on April 9.
On average, there are 20 tropical cyclones that could form or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility each year. Only half of those are projected to make landfall.
