MANILA, Philippines — Tropical depression “Domeng” is expected to make landfall in the Samar provinces on Saturday, the state weather bureau said.

Jun Galang of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Domeng was moving slowly because of a high pressure area, known as anti-cyclone. It causes warm weather and at the same time slows down bad weather.

If Domeng does not dissipate, it will be out of the Philippine area of responsibility by Monday, Galang said. He also did not discount the possibility that it will re-intensify into a storm.
