The JTWC then reissued a TCFA on the system while it was 233 km (145 mi) northeast of Davao City, Philippines. At 18:00 UTC, the JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression 01W based on surface observations from Guiuan. Aghon made its first landfalls over Homonhon Island, Giporlos, and Eastern Samar in the early morning of May 25 (PHT). At 12:00 UTC, the JTWC reported that the tropical depression had intensified into a tropical storm while it was still in Tayabas Bay. In the evening, it made five more landfalls over Basiao and Cagduyong Islands of Catbalogan, Samar; Batuan in Ticao Island; Masbate City; and Torrijos, Marinduque. The JMA then classified the system as a tropical storm at 00:00 UTC of the following day, assigning it the name Ewiniar. In the morning of May 26 (PHT), the storm made its 8th landfall over Lucena, Quezon in Luzon island; nonetheless, the system developed a small dense overcast holding a ragged, formative eye. The JTWC then reported that Ewiniar had rapidly intensified into a typhoon due to strong equatorward and poleward outflow. In the evening, the storm made its ninth landfall over Patnanungan in the Polillo Islands; however, the outermost deep convective was diminishing because of the topographical effects from Luzon island, and the further development of a poleward outflow channel. Ewiniar then turned northwestward along the northwestern edge of a mid-level subtropical high.

Soon after, the JMA upgraded Ewiniar to a severe tropical storm at 18:00 UTC on May 26 as its maximum sustained winds increased to 95 km/h (60 mph). On the following day, Ewiniar intensified into a typhoon, according to the JMA, making it the first typhoon of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season; although its structure consolidated, the system's pinhole eye became obscured by cirrus clouds. At 06:00 UTC, the JTWC estimated maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 175 km/h (110 mph), equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane, though it was slightly weakening as a result of moderate wind shear. Infrared satellite imagery showed a partially-exposed circulation center with deep convection over the southern portion of the storm; however, Ewiniar maintained its convective symmetric structure as it accelerated northeastward. On May 28, the JMA recorded maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h (80 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 980 hPa (28.94 inHg) as the system's peak intensity. Broadening convective cloud tops then began to warm up over the system's center, signaling a weakening trend.

The typhoon left the PAR at 12:00 PHT (04:00 UTC) on May 29 and continued to deteriorate due to subsidence around the mid-latitude. Shortly afterwards, it passed directly over the island of Minamidaitōjima. At 06:00 UTC, Ewiniar had weakened into a severe tropical storm. The typhoon began losing its tropical characteristics, and by 18:00 UTC on that day, it had become an extratropical low.
