These areas were expected to experience from moderate to heavy rain, which could cause flash floods and possible landslides.
The weather agency’s recent forecast shows that Salome will cross the Sibuyan Sea between Luzon and the Visayas on Thursday, announcing that sea travel was too risky.
On Saturday (November 11, 2017), Tropical Storm Salome was expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
