Tropical Storm Maymay makes landfall over Magsingal, Ilocos Sur

Tropical Storm Maymay made landfall over Magsingal, Ilocos Sur at 2 a.m. Thursday, state weather bureau PAGASA said.

Earlier, PAGASA said that after making landfall, Maymay is expected to weaken into a tropical depression by Thursday morning before further weakening into a low pressure area by Thursday afternoon or evening.

"However, due to interaction with the rugged terrain, an earlier weakening is possible," it said.
