Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 has been hoisted over some areas in Luzon, particularly in the eastern portion of Camarines Sur (Presentacion, Garchitorena, Caramoan, Calabanga, Naga City, Pili, Bombon, Magarao, Ocampo, Baao, Nabua, Bula, Balatan, Bato, Milaor, Minalabac, Camaligan, Saglay, Iriga City, Buhi, Tigaon, San Jose, Goa, Siruma, Tinambac, Lagonoy, Canaman, Gainza, San Fernando), as well as in Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, Burias Island, and Ticao Island.
