    + Forecast Outlook: URDUJA is expected to continue drifting NW-ward. The 2-day Short-Range Forecast shows the system over the Gulf of Leyte tomorrow afternoon (2PM Nov 24: 10.9N 125.3E) and will cross Leyte, passing very close to Tacloban City tomorrow evening until Wednesday morning. URDUJA will be off Biliran Island by Wednesday afternoon (2PM Nov 25: 11.6N 124.7E). More forecast outlook will be issued soon as majority of the forecast guidance models remains poor in initializing the future track of this weak depression. Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, so a turn to the left or right of its future track and other possibilities must be considered.

    + Effects & Hazards: URDUJA's organizing rainbands continues to dump scattered to widespread rains across Northern Mindanao, Leyte, Samar, Cebu and Bohol. Rainfall amounts of up to 200 mm (heavy rains) can be expected within the heavy rainbands of this depression. 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 measures must be initiated if necessary.

    [Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, effects, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!]
