Latest satellite image shows clouds forming in and around the circulation. These clouds will bring widespread light to moderate rains across Visayas and Mindanao. Some areas may see 50 to as much as 100mm of rainfall over the next two days increasing the possibility of flooding and even landslides.
TD Caloy is not forecast to intensify significantly but may linger in the Philippines for a few more days.
We'll have another update tomorrow.
