MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Storm (TS) Maring may become a severe tropical storm as it interacts with the circulation of Tropical Depression (TD) Nando, the state weather bureau said on Saturday.

In its 5 p.m. bulletin, Pagasa said Maring will “persist” in a possible merger with “Nando” as both weather disturbances are presently embedded within the larger circulation of a monsoon depression. The merging of two will occur within 24 hours.
