Severe Tropical Storm Siony Exits Philippines

Updated FRI · NOV 6, 2020 · 11:45 PM

Severe Tropical Storm Siony was off the southwestern coast of Taiwan on Friday evening and expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) within two to three hours.

PAGASA lifted all tropical cyclone wind signals in the country, with Siony's center located 225 kilometers northwest of Itbayat, Batanes at maximum sustained winds of 95 kph near the center and gustiness up to 115 kph.

Siony was forecast to pass close or over the Paracel Islands on Sunday evening and weaken into a low-pressure area due to unfavorable conditions.

Rough seas were expected in Batanes and Babuyan Islands for the next 24 hours, with strong breeze to near gale conditions and light to moderate rains.

A new low pressure area (LPA) entered PAR as Siony was set to exit, moving west-northwest at 20 kph.

Siony maintained its strength on Friday morning but was expected to significantly weaken over the West Philippine Sea due to northeasterlies.
