BREAKING! First Tropical System of 2020 Season in Pacific - Tropical Depression Ambo Intensifying! Manila in Path!

"AMBO" MAINTAINS ITS STRENGTH WHILE REMAINING ALMOST STATIONARY OVER THE PHILIPPINE SEA.
Within 24 hours, the trough of TD AMBO will bring scattered light to moderate with at times heavy rainshowers during thunderstorms over Mindanao. Residents in these areas are advised to take precautionary measures and continue monitoring for updates, especially the local rainfall or thunderstorm advisories and heavy rainfall warnings from PAGASA Regional Services Divisions (PRSD). Flooding and rain-induced landslides may occur in highly to very highly susceptible areas during heavy or prolonged rainfall.
Moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the eastern seaboards of Eastern Visayas and Caraga. Fisherfolks and those with small seacrafts are advised not venture out on these areas.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) #1 may be raised over portions of Eastern Visayas today, in anticipation of potentially strong winds associated with the TD. Disruption of maritime activities may be experienced in areas where TCWS is in effect.
TD "Ambo" is forecast to intensify into a Tropical Storm within 24 hours.
