Bising weakens into tropical storm, out of PAR Sunday morning

Severe tropical storm Bising has weakened into a tropical storm, PAGASA announced in its 5 p.m. severe weather bulletin.

At 4 p.m., the center of Bising was estimated based on all available data at 1,080 kilometers east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 105 kph.

It is moving east-southeastward at 15 kph.

PAGASA said Bising is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Sunday morning.

It is also expected to further waken due to unfavorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions.

According to PAGASA, moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the northern and eastern seaboards of Northern Luzon.

“Mariners of small seacrafts are advised not to venture out over these waters. Inexperienced mariners of these vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions,” PAGASA said.
