On 15:00 UTC on December 16, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert, designating the system as Invest 96W.[1] The next day, a tropical depression formed southeast of the Philippines. That same day, it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility or PAR, which PAGASA named Querubin.[2] On 17:00 PHT (09:00 UTC), PAGASA declared Signal No. 1 to Davao Oriental.[3] Six hours later, the JTWC issued a TCFA to Querubin, citing that it will strengthen for the next couple of days.
