MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Storm Dante may finally leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its Thursday night bulletin. ADVERTISEMENTDante may leave PAR momentarily as it moves north and then reenter it as it shifts to the northeast, towards the southern part of Taiwan. Contrary to an earlier prediction, Dante will probably remain a tropical storm once it re-enters PAE on Friday morning, by which time it would be 320 km west of Basco, Batanes. On Saturday morning, it would be 400 km north northeast of Itbayat, or over the coastal waters of Japan’s Yonaguni Islands, as a weakened tropical depression. Fisherfolk and small boat operators are not allowed to set sail as sea conditions would range from rough to very rough.
