Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 has been hoisted over the northern portion of Catanduanes as Tropical Depression Rosal maintains strength as it heads north northwestward.
TCWS Signal No. 1 is hoisted over these areas based on the 5:00 p.m. bulletin of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA):

PAGASA said Bicol Region and Quezon will experience moderate to heavy with at times intense rains, while Mimaropa ang Western Visayas will experience moderate to heavy rains this Saturday.
