(UPDATE) Tropical storm "Mario" slightly weakened as it passed through the Babuyan Channel, Philippine Atmospheric and Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
In its 5 pm update, Pagasa said “Mario" now has maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers (from 80 kilometers) per hour, its eye spotted 70 kilometers Northeast of Laoag City. It is moving West Northwest at a pace of 19 kilometers per hour, and is expected to be at Itbayat, Batanes by Saturday morning.
“Mario" is forecast to leave the country by Sunday afternoon.
Public Storm warning signal number 2 will remain over Cagayan including Calayan and Babuyan Group of Islands, Batanes Group of Islands, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte.
Signal number 1 is up at Isabela, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Abra, and Ilocos Sur.
"Bicol region will have occasional rains. Metro manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa and the rest of Luzon will experience monsoon rains which may trigger flashfloods and landslides," Pagasa said in its weather forecast.
As "Mario" moves, several areas have been placed under state of calamity as tropical storm "Mario" pounds parts of Luzon.
Officials have declared a state of calamity in Cainta, Rizal and Dagupan, Pangasinan; and in Marikina City where heavy flooding has been reported.
Two dams are above spilling level as of 4:00 pm, according to Manila Water. Ipo dam water level at Norzagaray, Bulacan is at least 1.73 meters above spilling level while La Mesa dam water level in Quezon City is above spilling level of 80.15 meters.
"Ang La Mesa Dam ay walang gates tulad ng Angat at Ipo na pwedeng buksan kung puno na. Kusa itong umaapaw sa lebel na 80.15m," Manila Water said.
Meanwhile, heavy rains will persist in Metro Manila, said Pagasa.
In its 3 pm update, the Philippine Atmospheric and Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration retained the red rainfall warning (severe flooding expected) over Bulacan, Metro Manila, Laguna, Rizal, Cavite, and Batangas.
Orange rainfall warning (flooding is threatening) over Quezon, Pampanga, Zambales, and Bataan. A yellow warning (possible flooding) is meanwhile up over Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.
