Humina na at naging Low Pressure Area ang dating bagyong Wilma ngayong umaga. Huling nakita ang sentro nito malapit sa Cataingan, Masbate. Kumikilos ito pa-kanluran sa bilis na 15 km/h at may central pressure na 1008 hPa.
Wala nang nakataas na Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal sa buong bansa, kabilang ang Romblon.
Bagama’t humina na, patuloy pa ring makakaapekto ang LPA at ang shear line sa ating lalawigan. Asahan ang madalas na maulap na kalangitan na may kalat-kalat hanggang tuloy-tuloy na pag-ulan. Manatiling maingat, lalo na sa mga lugar na madaling bahain o gumuho ang lupa.
Malalakas na bugso ng hangin ang inaasahan dahil sa Northeast Monsoon o Amihan. Mas ramdam ang hangin sa mga baybayin at mataaas na bahagi ng Romblon ngayong araw at sa mga susunod pang araw.
Sa kondisyon ng dagat, bagama’t wala sa direktang apektadong seaboards, inaasahan pa rin ang moderate to rough seas sa paligid ng Romblon, na maaaring umabot hanggang 2 metro ang taas ng alon. Pinapayuhan ang mga mangingisda at maliliit na bangkang de-motor na umiwas muna sa paglalayag kung hindi kinakailangan.
Mananatili ang LPA sa paggalaw nito patungong Southern Luzon at Visayas at posibleng lumabas sa West Philippine Sea sa susunod na araw. May maliit na posibilidad na muling maging tropical depression kapag nasa dagat na.
Patuloy na mag-monitor sa mga susunod na abiso, lalo na sa mga lokal na rainfall advisory at thunderstorm warning. Sundin ang tagubilin ng inyong MDRRMO at lokal na pamahalaan.
