MANILA, Philippines —Generally moving northeastward over the Philippine Sea, Typhoon 'Aghon' is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Wednesday afternoon, the state-run weather agency said on Tuesday.

In its past 5 p.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Aghon would likely maintain its strength until Wednesday although it may intensify in the next 12 hours. 'Aghon will start entering a period of weakening by Wednesday as it begins to interact with the mid-latitude environment and undergo post-tropical transition,' the state weather bureau said.
