Next Update: Monday Early Morning, 09 December 2014
Tropical Storm HAGUPIT (RUBY) continues to lose strength as it drifts westward off the coast of Laiya, Batangas...expected to move along the Batangas' Coastline tonight.
This storm will continue to enhance the Northeast Monsoon (Hanging Amihan) - bringing mostly cloudy and windy conditions and cooler temperatures across Northern and Central Luzon...becoming more frequent with possible occasional slight to moderate rains along eastern sections of Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Northern Quezon. The threat of flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes of the affected areas. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions.
Residents and visitors along Southern and Central Luzon should closely monitor the development of Hagupit (Ruby).
