“Due to the cold and dry air from the northeasterly wind flow, Salome weakened into a low pressure area at 2 p.m. today,” Pagasa said in its latest typhoon bulletin.
“The remnant flow will continue to move generally southwestward and may dissipate within the next 24 hours,” it added.
According to Pagasa, the now-LPA was last spotted 145 kilometers west northwest of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte.
