MANILA, Philippines — Severe Tropical Storm Uwan would likely re-enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) either Wednesday morning or afternoon as Signal No. 1 remains hoisted over three Luzon areas, the national weather agency said. Weather specialist Loriedin Dela Cruz-Galicia of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in a briefing that Uwan maintains its strength as it slowly moves north-northeastward over the sea south of Taiwan. Still under Signal No. 1 were Batanes, Babuyan Islands, and the northwestern portion of Ilocos Norte, the latest Pagasa bulletin said. “Uwan is forecast to move generally northeastward, re-entering PAR this morning or afternoon before making landfall over the southwestern coast of Taiwan by afternoon or evening,” Dela Cruz-Galicia said. It will weaken into a tropical storm prior to its landfall over the southwestern coast of Taiwan.  After landfall, its interaction with Taiwan’s will trigger a continuous weakening trend until it weakens into a remnant low by Friday. The state-run weather agency said Cordillera Administrative Region and the rest of Ilocos Region would be experiencing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough or extension of the severe tropical storm. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country would likely have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or localized thunderstorms, it added.
