Typhoon Rosal exits PAR — PAGASA

Typhoon Rosal (international name: Champi) has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility, PAGASA said Saturday.

In its 11 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the periphery of Typhoon Rosal will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas, especially those in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds:

Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Aurora, northern Quezon, Polillo Islands, Bicol Region, Romblon, Capiz, Iloilo, and Negros Occidental

No tropical cyclone wind signal warning was issued.

Based on PAGASA's track and intensity outlook, heavy rainfall and severe winds may still be experienced in localities outside the forecast confidence cone.

"ROSAL has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and will continue heading towards the East China Sea," PAGASA said.

The center of Typhoon Rosal was estimated at 525 kms north northeast of Itbayat, Batanes outside PAR.

It is moving east northeastward at 20 kph, with maximum sustained winds of 120 kph near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph. — VDV, GMA News
