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. 5.
Furthermore, the UWAN will also bring occasional gusty conditions reaching strong to gale-force strength over the following areas not under Wind Signal (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
• Saturday to Sunday (08 to 09 November): Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Coastal Flooding
There is a high risk of life-threatening storm surge and related coastal flooding, especially in Northern Luzon and the east coast of Central and Southern Luzon. Storm surge warnings may be issued tonight and tomorrow (08 November).
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
Gale Warning for very rough seas in coastal waters will likely be issued along the eastern seaboards of Luzon, Visayas, and Caraga Region tonight or tomorrow (08 November) morning in anticipation of very rough or worse sea condition.
24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook
Up to very rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 5.0 m: The northern and eastern seaboards of Catanduanes; the eastern seaboard of Northern Samar
• Up to 4.5 m: The northern seaboards of Camarines Sur and Northern Samar; the eastern seaboards of Albay, Sorsogon, and Eastern Samar.
• Sea travel is risky for all types or tonnage of vessels. All mariners must remain in port or, if underway, seek shelter or safe harbor as soon as possible until winds and waves subside.
Up to rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 4.0 m: The seaboard of Isabela; eastern seaboards of mainland Cagayan, Dinagat Islands, and Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands; the northern and eastern seaboards of Polillo Islands.
• Up to 3.5 m: The seaboards of Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Sur, Aurora, northern mainland Quezon; the eastern seaboards of Camarines Sur and Surigao del Sur; the western seaboard of Pangasinan; the remaining seaboards of Catanduanes
• Up to 3.0 m: The northern seaboard of mainland Cagayan, the eastern seaboard of Davao Oriental; the remaining seaboard of Ilocos Region.
• 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 southern seaboard of Samar; the eastern seaboards of Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Davao Occidental; the northern and western seaboards of Dinagat Islands; the remaining seaboard of Eastern Samar
• Up to 2.0 m: The seaboard of Zambales, Marinduque, Kalayaan Islands, Antique, Biliran, Zamboanga del Norte, and Sarangani; the western seaboards of Lubang Islands and Calamian Islands; the western and southern seaboards of Negros Oriental; the southwestern seaboard of Negros Occidental; the northern seaboard of Romblon and Leyte; the remaining seaboards of Bicol Region, Quezon, Northern Samar, Samar, and Caraga Region.
• 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.
• UWAN will move generally westward in the next 24 hours then west northwestward for most of the forecast period. On the track forecast, this TC is forecast to enter the PAR tonight or tomorrow (08 November) early morning. Furthermore, UWAN is forecast to make landfall over the southern portion of Isabela or the northern portion of Aurora on Sunday (09 November) late evening or on Monday (10 November) early morning. After landfall, UWAN will traverse the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over the West Philippine Sea on Monday morning or afternoon.
• In terms of intensity, this TC is forecast to rapidly intensify and may reach typhoon category in the next 24 hours and super typhoon category tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. It may also make landfall at or near its peak lifetime intensity. The passage over Luzon will significantly weaken UWAN, but it is likely that it will remain 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 11:00 PM today.
