Tropical storm “Auring” has begun to move in a northwest direction towards the country’s landmass after almost being stationary over Philippine Sea, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

The storm’s center was last spotted 320 km east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur at 1 p.m. Sunday, with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph.

“There is an increasing likelihood that Auring will weaken into a tropical depression before it makes landfall due to persistent high vertical wind shear associated with the surge of the northeast monsoon [amihan]. However, the possibility that the storm will maintain its strength until landfall is not yet ruled out,” the agency said.

Meanwhile, moderate to heavy rains may be felt in Caraga, Eastern Visayas, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Camiguin on Sunday. Residents in the said areas were warned of possible flooding, flash floods, and rain-induced landslides during heavy or prolonged rainfall.
