"Tisoy" has downgraded into a tropical depression and is now outside the Philippine area of responsibility, PAGASA says in its final severe weather bulletin on the weather disturbance.

Tropical Depression Tisoy exited PAR at 8 a.m. today.

The state weather bureau, however, says that even though "Tisoy" is no longer directly affecting the country, heavy rains may still be experienced over most of northern Luzon, Aurora and northern Quezon due to the combined effects of the surge of the northeast monsoon and the tail-end of a cold front.

Sea travel remains risky, especially for small seacraft, over the seaboards of northern and central Luzon, and the eastern and western seaboards of southern Luzon due to rough seas.

"Tisoy," which has weakened into a tropical storm last night, is seen to exit the Philippine area of responsibility this morning, PAGASA says.

"Inaasahan natin na kung di po magbago ang direksyon at takbo nito northwest at 15 kilometers per hour ay lalabas na ito ng Philippine area of responsibility ngayong umaga rin ho yan within today," PAGASA weather specialist Loriedin De La Cruz says.

It is located 540 km west of Subic, Zambales, the state weather bureau says in its 5 a.m. update.

PAGASA lifts all Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals as Severe Tropical Storm Tisoy further weakens and barrels away from the country's landmass. But the state weather bureau adds that this does not necessarily mean that we will be experiencing generally good weather conditions right away.

PAGASA warns that sea travel remains risky, especially for small seacraft, over the seaboards of northern Luzon, eastern seaboard of central Luzon, and the eastern and western seaboards of southern Luzon due to rough sea conditions.

It is moving west-northwestward over the West Philippine Sea.

The center of the severe tropical storm was located 290 km west-southwest of Subic, Zambales

Where is the most rainfall expected today?

Moderate with occasional heavy rains are forecast over Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region and Aurora.

"Tisoy" packs maximum sustained winds of 95 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 115 kph.

The Department of Foreign Affairs suspended its consular services in Angeles, Dasmariñas, Lipa, Legaspi, Lucena, Pampanga, and San Pablo on Tuesday due to Typhoon Tisoy.

The strong Typhoon Tisoy forced the evacuation of thousands and halted operations of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport as it lashed the country with fierce winds and heavy rain threatening plans for the SEA Games.

The typhoon may have slightly weakened after making landfall in Sorsogon late Monday but the state weather bureau warned that "Tisoy" is still "powerful." 

NAIA is expected to stop operations at 11 a.m today as a precaution against high winds. Authorities said they would reopen at 11 p.m.
