Lannie is also seen to remain as tropical depression over the period of its traverse in central Philippines, with possibility of slight intensification when it reaches Sulu Sea or West Philippine Sea.
The state weather bureau added that Lannie is forecast to move generally northwestward over the West Philippine Sea by late Tuesday until early Thursday. “Improvement in environmental conditions will allow the depression to intensify,” it added.
By Wednesday early morning, Lannie may intensify to tropical storm category.
Lannie is seen to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Thursday morning.
The state weather bureau advised public and disaster risk reduction and management offices to take all necessary measures to protect life and liberty, while persons living in areas identified to be susceptible to these hazards are urged to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.

“Under these conditions, scattered flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are possible especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps,” PAGASA added.
Strong winds with occasional gusts will also be experienced in areas under Signal No. 1, and these may cause “very light damage to structures and vegetation,” it added.
“The enhanced easterly flow north of the tropical depression may also bring occasionally gusts and reaching strong breeze to near gale in strength over Extreme Northern Luzon and the coastal and upland/mountainous areas of the eastern section of Luzon in the next 24 hours,” PAGASA also said.
