Tropical Depression Wilma prompts TCWS No. 1 in 14 areas

Tropical Depression Wilma has prompted PAGASA to raise Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 in fourteen areas across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Wilma was last spotted 390 kilometers east of Borongan City, Eastern Samar, moving west southwestward at 45 kph with gusts of up to 55 kph.

PAGASA forecasts Wilma's center to make landfall over the Dinagat Islands or Eastern Visayas late Friday or early Saturday.

The tropical depression is expected to bring intense rainfall over Southern Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao, with widespread and serious flooding and landslides expected.

Wilma is expected to traverse the Visayas until Sunday, then emerge over the West Philippine Sea Monday morning.

Wilma may be out of the Philippine area of responsibility by Tuesday.
