According to JTWC Typhoon Ruby (Hagupit) is no longer a "super" typhoon. But its tropical cyclone warning as of 11 a.m. (PHL time), indicated there is a chance Ruby may cross Metro Manila on Wednesday.
In its warning, JTWC said Ruby had been "downgraded" from Super Typhoon to Typhoon.
Ruby as of 8 a.m. Friday packed winds of 125 knots or 231.50 kph, and gustiness of 150 knots or 277.8 kph.
By 8 p.m., it is expected to pack winds of 120 knots or 222.24 kph and gustiness of 145 knots or 268.54 kph.
