Lannie quickens as it moves over West Philippine Sea

Tropical Depression Lannie has accelerated while moving  west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea, the state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday.

In its 5 p.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA said Lannie was last located 380 kilometers west of Coron, Palawan or 465 kilometers west of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.

Further, it has maximum winds of up to 45 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 55 kph.

According to PAGASA, the weather disturbance will likely bring moderate to heavy rains over Palawan including Calamian, Kalayaan, and Cuyo Islands.

Meanwhile, light to moderate with at times heavy rains are also possible over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro, the rest of MIMAROPA, Aurora, and Ilocos Norte.

Also, in the next 24 hours, the enhanced easterly flow north and southwesterly flow south of the tropical depression may bring occasionally gusts reaching near gale to at times gale-force in strength over extreme Northern Luzon and the coastal and upland/mountainous areas of Cordillera Administrative Region, mainland Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula.

Likewise, Lannie is expected to move west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea and will likely leave Philippine jurisdiction on Wednesday, Oct. 6.

Coastal waters

The tropical depression will also cause moderate to rough seas over the rest of coastal waters nationwide, PAGASA said.

It also warned that sea voyages will be risky during this time.

"These conditions are 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," PAGASA said.—AOL, GMA News
