Ulysses weakens

MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Ulysses weakened on Thursday morning, November 12, 2020, while leaving the Luzon landmass, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3, however,  is still up over parts of Luzon including Metro Manila.

Pagasa said that as of 7a.m., the eye of weather disturbance was last spotted from Subic and Benguet Doppler radar stations in the vicinity of Cabangan, Zambales.

Ulysses was  moving west-northwest at 30 kilometers per hour (kph) with maximum sustained winds of 130 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 215 kph.

The typhoon’s maximum sustained winds at dawn was measured at 155 ph with gustiness of up to 255 kph.

Ulysses is expected to emerge over the western seaboard of Zambales within the next hour.

Pagasa warned that  heavy to intense and at times torrential rains are expected in Metro Manila, Calabarzon and Central Luzon until Thursday afternoon.

Pagasa added that moderate to heavy and at times intense rains may prevail in the  Cordillera Administrative Region, mainland Cagayan Valley, Babuyan Islands, Pangasinan, Marinduque, and the northern portion of Mindoro Provinces including Lubang Island. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains may  hit the Visayas and rest of Luzon.”

“Slight intensification is likely as the typhoon moves over the West Philippine Sea away from the landmass,” said Pagasa.

The typhoon is expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility on Friday morning or afternoon.

Pagasa also warned of strong winds and destructive force winds for areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) #3.
