Isolated to scattered flooding, including flash floods, and rain-induced landslides may be experienced during heavy and prolonged rainfall in landslide and flood-prone areas, PAGASA added.

Crising is expected to move westward and cross Mindanao before emerging over Sulu Sea Friday night. It is expected to further weaken as it traverses the island due to the rugged terrain of Mindanao before it makes another landfall over Palawan by Saturday.

It is also forecast to weaken into a "remnant low" by Saturday prior or during its landfall over Palawan, dissipating afterwards. PAGASA, however, said Crising may be reduced to a remnant low Friday while traversing Mindanao.
