It maintained its strength, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 70 kph.

Nimfa was almost stationary and expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) Saturday, Sept. 21, PAGASA said.

Meanwhile, a shallow low-pressure area was spotted in the vicinity of Mayontoc, Tarlac while the southwest monsoon or habagat continued to affect parts of Luzon and Visayas.

Occasional light to moderate rains will prevail over Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Apayao, and the rest of Central Luzon and MIMAROPA.

The rest of Luzon and Western Visayas will experience scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms.
