A low-pressure area east of Catanduanes developed into a tropical depression on Tuesday morning, named “Ramon” by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

Weathermen said “Ramon” might intensify into a tropical storm in the next 48 hours.

As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, its center was estimated at 670 kilometers east of Borongan City, Eastern Samar.

Packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kms per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph, it was moving west slowly.

Tropical cyclone wind signal no. 1 was hoisted over the Visayas’ Eastern Samar and the eastern portion of Northern Samar.
