OTHER HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall Outlook
• Refer to Weather Advisory No. 4 issued at 11:00 AM today for the heavy rainfall outlook due to TINO. Link: tinyurl.com/wxadvisory
➣ Severe Winds
The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone. Local winds may be slightly stronger/enhanced in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind direction.
• Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1.
The highest Wind Signal that will likely be hoisted throughout its passage is Wind Signal No. 4.
Furthermore the surge of the Northeast Monsoon coinciding with the passage of TINO will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas not under Wind Signal (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
• Today: Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, the northern and eastern portion of Cagayan, the eastern portion of Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Lubang Islands, Marinduque, Calaguas Islands, and Caluya Islands
• Tomorrow (03 November): Most of Cagayan Valley, most of Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, Aurora, Bulacan, Bataan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Bicol Region.
• Tuesday (04 November): Most of Cagayan Valley, most of Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, most of Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Bicol Region.
➣ Coastal Flooding
There is a potential risk of coastal flooding due to storm surge associated within TINO over low-lying and coastal localities in Visayas and several portions of Southern Luzon and Mindanao. The risk of storm surge is higher in areas closer to the projected path of TINO, especially those situated slightly to the north of the track. A Storm Surge Warning will be issued within the day in anticipation of this impending threat.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Gale Warning may be raised over the eastern seaboard of Eastern Visayas and Caraga Region tonight or tomorrow (03 November) morning in anticipation of very rough sea conditions or worse.
➣ 24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook
Up to rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 4.0 m: The seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands; the eastern seaboards of mainland Cagayan and Isabela.
• Up to 3.5 m: The remaining seaboard of mainland Cagayan; the seaboard of Ilocos Norte; the eastern seaboards of Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, and Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands.
• Up to 3.0 m: The seaboards of Ilocos Sur, Aurora, northern mainland Quezon, and Camarines Norte; the northern and eastern seaboards of Polillo Islands, Catanduanes, and Northern Samar; the northern seaboard of Camarines Sur; the eastern seaboards of Albay and Sorsogon.
• Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced of operating ill-equipped vessels.
Up to moderate to rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 2.5 m: The seaboard of Surigao del Sur.
• Up to 2.0 m: The seaboard of La Union and Davao Occidental; the eastern seaboard of Davao Oriental; the western seaboard of Pangasinan; the remaining seaboard of Catanduanes.
• Mariners of motorbancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• It must be emphasized that heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities outside the landfall point and the forecast confidence cone. Refer to “Other Hazards affecting Land Areas” for more details. Furthermore, the track may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone.
• On the track forecast, TINO will move generally westward over the next three days and make its initial landfall over Eastern Samar or Dinagat Islands tomorrow (03 November) late evening or on Tuesday (04 November) early morning. Afterwards, TINO will traverse Visayas and northern Palawan before emerging over the West Philippine Sea on Wednesday (05 November) morning or afternoon.
• TINO is forecast to continuously intensify and may reach typhoon category within the next 24 hours. Furthermore, it will likely make its initial landfall at or near peak intensity (currently forecasted around 150-155 km/h maximum winds). Rapid intensification within the next 48 hours is likely. The possibility of reaching super typhoon category is not ruled out based on alternate scenarios and climatological data. While the passage over country will trigger a slight weakening, TINO is expected to remain as a typhoon throughout its passage over the country.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 PM today.
