Typhoon Emong made its second landfall in Candon City, Ilocos Sur, at 5:10 a.m. on Friday, July 25, and has since weakened into a severe tropical storm.

As of 7 a.m. Friday, the storm was located near San Isidro, Abra, with maximum sustained winds of 100 kph and gusts of up to 165 kph.

Emong is now moving north northeast at 25 kph and is expected to continue weakening.

The storm's peak intensity of 120 kph winds was recorded before its first landfall in Agno, Pangasinan, on Thursday night.

Following the downgrade, PAGASA has lifted all Signal No. 4 advisories, with nine Luzon areas now under Signal No. 3 and eleven areas under Signal No. 2.

Significant rainfall is expected over Luzon through Saturday due to the typhoon and the enhanced southwest monsoon.

A storm surge of up to three meters may threaten coastal areas of Zambales, Ilocos Region, Cagayan, and Batanes.
