Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) continues to cut across Visayas as another cyclone developed outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), PAGASA said on Tuesday, November 4.
State meteorologists have maintained Signal No. 4 in many areas in Visayas, warning residents of typhoon-force winds that pose a severe threat to life and property.
Tino is forecast to continue traversing Western Visayas and northern Palawan until it leaves through the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday morning, November 5. It will leave PAR by Thursday, November 6.
While Tino is expected to weaken, it will likely remain in the typhoon category.
As Tino moves west, a low-pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility has developed into a tropical depression. State meteorologists are still monitoring the newly formed cyclone.
