Leon weakened into typhoon category yesterday and will continue to weaken after crossing Taiwan's landmass.
Leon (Kong-rey) was monitored 320 kilometers north-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes as it moves northwestward at 25 km per hour, carrying maximum sustained winds of 155 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 255 kph.
Tropical cyclone wind signal No. 2 was still raised over the northern portion of Batanes yesterday afternoon.
Signal No. 1 was hoisted over the rest of Batanes, Babuyan Islands, the northern portion of mainland Cagayan, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte.
PAGASA said that there is still a moderate risk of life-threatening storm surge with peak heights of two to three meters above normal tide levels over the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of Batanes.
The trough of Leon is bringing scattered rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. Visayas and Mindanao may see isolated rains due to localized thunderstorms.
