TROPICAL DEPRESSION BISING (98W) NEWLY-FORMED OFF SIARGAO & BILIRAN ISLANDS...
DRIFTING SLOWLY TOWARDS EASTERN VISAYAS PARTICULARLY LEYTE, BOHOL AND
CEBU ISLANDS.

*Residents and visitors along Visayas, Bicol Region & Northern Mindanao should closely monitor
the progress of BISING.

3 days, crossing Southern Leyte tomorrow. It shall pass over Northern Cebu
tomorrow evening before moving across Northern Panay on Sunday, Feb 15 and
just north of Boracay Island Resort on Monday morning, Feb 16. BISING may
dissipate upon crossing the Visayas due to island terrain interaction.

+ EFFECTS: BISING's broad circulation is expected to bring scattered wide-
spread rains with weak squalls and thunderstorms across portions of the
Visayas, Bicol Region, Southern Luzon and Mindanao today. Residents in
low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for
possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the
anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary mea-
sures must be initiated if necessary.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook,
effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical cyclone watch changes 
every 06 to 12 hours!
