Signal no. 1 raised over 6 provinces

MANILA (Updated 7:38 a.m.) — Six areas were placed under storm signal number 1 early Saturday as Tropical Depression Egay continues to move northwestward and now threatens Bicol Region.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) spotted “Egay” at 200 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar as of 4 a.m. Saturday.

Storm signal number 1 was hoisted over Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Samar provinces.
The weather bureau said the storm is moving at 15 kilometers per hour (khp), packing maximum winds of up to 55 kph near the center.
Pagasa alerted residents in low lying areas and near mountain slopes under signal number 1 against possible flashfloods and landslides.
Science and Technology Undersecretary Graciano Yumul said “Egay” has a good chance of missing land although it may graze parts of extreme northern Luzon before heading to Japan.
“It will also bring rains to parts of Luzon including Metro Manila around Sunday until Tuesday because of the enhanced southwest monsoon. The ridge of high pressure near Luzon is also slowly receding, thus rains are expected,” he told Sun.Star.
Egay is expected to be 110 kilometers north of Virac, Catanduanes by Sunday morning, 130 kilometers northeast of Tuguegarao City by Monday morning, and 140 kilometers northwest of Basco, Batanes by Tuesday morning.
The agency said “Egay” will not make landfall and will exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Tuesday.
The fifth weather disturbance to enter the country this year will enhance the southwest monsoon and will bring rains over the Western sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, Pagasa said. (Sunnex)
