MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Depression Wilma weakened into a low-pressure area (LPA) by middsay Sunday, December 7, prompting the lifting of all Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals previously hoisted over parts of Luzon and the Visayas.
In its 10 a.m. bulletin on Dec. 7, PAGASA said the LPA was located in the vicinity of Cataingan, Masbate, moving west at 15 kilometers per hour (kph). Earlier, the state weather bureau had raised Signal No. 1 over several areas in its 8 a.m. advisory.
PAGASA said that while the threat of destructive winds has passed, the remnants of the former tropical depression, along with the ongoing northeast monsoon or amihan, will continue to bring rains across affected areas.
The LPA is expected to move westward across Southern Luzon and the Visayas through Monday and may still produce significant rainfall.
Gale warnings still in effect. The weakening of Wilma does not eliminate risks over coastal waters, PAGASA said. A gale warning remains raised over the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon.
Sea travel is considered extremely risky due to very rough seas reaching up to 5.0 meters along the seaboards of mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and the northern and eastern coasts of the Polillo Islands and Camarines Norte.
PAGASA advised mariners to remain in port until sea conditions improve.
Redevelopment still possible. The bureau noted that the LPA is currently moving through an unfavorable environment, making immediate reintensification unlikely.
However, once it emerges over the West Philippine Sea, the possibility of redeveloping into a tropical depression “is not entirely ruled out.”
