MANILA, Philippines – Tropical storm “Marce” continues to move away from the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and public storm signal warning #1 was lifted over Bataan and Zambales, weather bureau PAGASA said on Friday, October 4.

In its 5 am bulletin, PAGASA noted that Marce was located 280 km West of Subic, Zambales (14.5°N, 117.4°E), with maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h and gusts of up to 90 km/h.

The tropical storm is moving slowly West and by Sunday morning it will be 550 km West of Subic and outside the PAR.

Storm signal #1 was canceled for Bataan and Zambales, but the weather bureau fishing boats and other small vessels are advised not to venture out into the western seaboard of Luzon and Visayas due to big waves generated by Marce.

Light rain over Metro Manila

PAGASA said in its weather forecast that the tropical storm will enhance the effects of the southwest monsoon and bring occasional moderate to heavy rain to Mimaropa, Visayas and the Zamboanga Peninsula.

Metro Manila and the rest of Mindanao will have light to moderate rain, while other parts of Luzon are expected to be partly cloudy with brief showers.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from Northeast to East will prevail over the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and Ilocos Region, and coming from Southwest to South over the rest of Luzon and western Visayas.

The coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from Southwest to West with slight to moderate seas. – Rappler.com
