“Domeng” has maintained its strength while moving west northwestward over the Philippine Sea.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the center of the tropical storm is so far estimated 1,120 km east of Central Luzon.

It is packing maximum sustained winds of 85 km/h near the center, and has a gustiness of up to 105 km/h, moving at 10 km/h.

While "Domeng" is less likely to directly affect the weather condition of the country in the next 24 hours, the southwesterly windflow enhanced by "Domeng" may bring heavy rains over the western portion of the country beginning Sunday.

The enhancement of the southwesterly windflow will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over most of Visayas, Batanes, Cagayan, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Zamboanga del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Camiguin, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Sarangani, Davao Occidental, and Davao Oriental tomorrow.

Up to moderate seas are also expected over the eastern seaboard of Northern Samar, the seaboards of Batanes, Isabela, northern Aurora, Southern Leyte, Surigao del Norte, and Dinagat Islands; the eastern seaboards of Albay, Sorsogon, Eastern Samar, and Davao Occidental; the northern and eastern seaboards of Cagayan, and Catanduanes; the northern seaboards of Camarines Norte, Camarines sur, Northern Samar, and Camiguin; the eastern and southern seaboards of Davao Oriental; and the southern seaboard of Bohol.

PAGASA said "Domeng" will continue moving generally northwestward until Sunday "before recurving towards southern Japan for the remaining forecast period."

"Domeng" will likely exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Monday.
