Storm signals lifted as ‘Tino’ weakens into low pressure area

State weather forecasters on Tuesday afternoon lowered all public storm warning signals in northern and central Luzon as tropical depression “Tino" weakened into a low pressure area.
According to the 2 p.m. bulletin by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the low pressure area was last spotted 120 kilometers north-northeast of Casiguran, Aurora province.
Tino, earlier forecast to make landfall over Aurora province as early as Tuesday afternoon, weakened into a low pressure area due to the surge of the northeast monsoon or amihan, Pagasa said.
Pagasa however still warned of occasional rain showers over the eastern section of northern and central Luzon due to the low pressure area.
Tino is the 20th cyclone to enter the Philippine area of responsibility this year. Pagasa earlier said it expects one to two more cyclones to affect the country’s weather before the year ends. - Andreo Calonzo, GMANews.TV
