The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced Sunday that Tropical Storm Agaton continued to travel slowly westward over the coastal waters of Balangiga, Eastern Samar.

The center of “Agaton” was sighted over the coastal waters of Balangiga, Eastern Samar, with maximum, sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (kph) in the center, gustiness of up to 105 kph, and a central pressure of 998 hPa, according to PAGASA’s 2 p.m. report (hectoPascals).

Strong winds or higher extend outwards up to 220 kilometers from the core.

As of this writing, the following locations are under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 2:

• Eastern Samar’s central and southern regions (Can-avid, Taft, Sulat, San Julian, Borongan City, Maydolong, Balangkayan, Llorente, Balangiga, Lawaan, Hernani, General Macarthur, Quinapondan, Giporlos, Salcedo, Mercedes, Guiuan)

• Samar’s central and southern regions (Catbalogan City, Jiabong, Motiong, Paranas, Hinabangan, Calbiga, San Sebastian, Villareal, Pinabacdao, Santa Rita, Basey, Talalora, Daram, Zumarraga, Marabut)

• Leyte’s northeastern region (Babatngon, San Miguel, Barugo, Tunga, Alangalang, Tacloban City, Santa Fe, Pastrana, Palo, Tanauan, Tolosa, Dulag, Mayorga)

TCWS No. 1 covers the rest of Eastern Samar, the rest of Samar, Northern Samar, Biliran, the rest of Leyte, Southern Leyte, and the northern section of Cebu (Borbon, Tabogon, San Remigio, Bogo City, Medellin, Daanbantayan, and Bantayan Islands), as well as the Camotes Islands.

Due to the weak steering environment, “Agaton” is expected to travel irregularly or remain nearly stationary over the southern half of Samar Island and its coastal waters, according to PAGASA.

It could travel along the coast or make another landfall on Leyte.

By mid-Tuesday, it will have accelerated its turn east southeastward or eastward as it prepares for a binary meeting with Tropical Cyclone Malakas.

“Agaton will likely stay a tropical storm for the majority of the forecast period,” PAGASA added, “but the prospect of it being downgraded to a tropical depression is not ruled out due to the tropical storm’s potential impact on land interaction.”

As “Malakas” continues to absorb its circulation, it is expected to degenerate into a residual low by late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to the weather bureau.
