(Eagle News)–All wind signals have been lifted even as “Liwayway,” now a typhoon, slightly intensified as it moved forward.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said as of 4 a.m. today, the eye of the typhoon was located 305 kilometers northeast of Basco, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 160 kph.
It is moving northwards at 10 kph.
Between today and tomorrow morning, “Liwayway” will bring light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains over Batanes and Babuyan Islands.
The southwest monsoon will also bring scattered light to moderate rains (with at times heavy rain showers during thunderstorms) over Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Central Luzon.
Between tomorrow morning and Friday morning, the trough of “Liwayway” and the southwest monsoon will bring light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, and Ilocos Provinces.
Sea travel is risky over the seaboards of Luzon due to potentially rough sea conditions.
“Liwayway” is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility between tomorrow afternoon and evening.
