Public storm warning signal No. 1 remains hoisted over the three Samar provinces as typhoon “Lawin” (Jelawat) gained strength while moving over the Philippine Sea off Eastern Visayas, the state weather bureau said Sunday afternoon.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration weather forecaster Chris Perez said that as of 4 p.m. Sunday, the typhoon was located at 310 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar (12.3°N, 128.7°E).

Lawin's wind speed has increased from 120 kilometers per hour to 140 kph and gustiness from 150 kph to 170 kph, but it has a small chance to make landfall, Perez said.

“Based on our models as of now, hindi na po inaasahan na mag-landfall between 2-3 days, but the weather agency continues to monitor the possible scenario,” Perez said in an interview.

Typhoon Lawin is moving north-northwest at 7 kph and with its present speed, Perez said it is expected to linger within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

He added that Lawin will bring rains over the Visayas and Mindanao while localized thunderstorms will affect Luzon, including Metro Manila.

PAGASA said that public storm warning signal No. 1 is hoisted over the three Samar provinces which are expected to experience 30-60 kph winds within the next 36 hours.

It advised residents living in low-lying and mountainous areas under the storm signal to be on alert against possible flashfloods and landslides.

Fishing boats and other small seacraft were also advised not to venture into the eastern seaboard of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao due to big waves generated by Lawin.
