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.

DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, an admission nine months later that the widely criticized trade of Luka Doncic backfired on the franchise. The move came a day after Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont attended a 116-114 loss to the Bucks in which fans again chanted “fire Nico,” a familiar refrain since the blockbuster deal in February that brought Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers and angered the Dallas fan base. The Mavericks appointed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi as co-interim general managers to oversee basketball operations. Dumont’s hope for goodwill with the fans […]...
