MANILA, Philippines — The state weather bureau said it may remove its Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 warning over several areas in Luzon as early as Wednesday since Typhoon Betty (international name: Mawar) is steadily moving north-northwestward possibly toward Japan.

Based on its 4:00 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Betty was last located 320 kilometers east of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center with gustiness of up to 150 kph.
