OTHER HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
• Heavy Rainfall Outlook
Refer to Weather Advisory No. 37 issued at 5:00 PM today for the heavy rainfall outlook due to EMONG and the Southwest Monsoon enhanced by DANTE and EMONG.
• 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.
• Significant to severe impacts from typhoon-force winds are possible within any of the localities where Wind Signal No. 4 is hoisted.
• Moderate to significant impacts from storm-force winds are possible within any of the localities where Wind Signal No. 3 is hoisted.
• Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible within any of the localities where Wind Signal No. 2 is hoisted.
• Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1.
The enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
• Today: Central Luzon (areas not under Wind Signal), Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Visayas, Zamboanga del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Camiguin, Dinagat Islands, and Davao Oriental.

Refer to Storm Surge Warning No. 5 issued at 8:00 PM today for the details.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
A Gale Warning is in effect over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon. Refer to Gale Warning No. 4 issued at 5:00 PM today.

• Up to 6.0 m: The western seaboard of Bataan.
• Up to 4.5 m: The western seaboards of Batangas, Lubang Islands, and Occidental Mindoro.
• Sea travel is risky 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 eastern seaboards of Isabela and mainland Cagayan.
• Up to 3.5 m: The western seaboards of northern Palawan including Calamian Islands; the northeastern seaboard of Aurora.

• Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.
Up to moderate seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 2.5 m: The remaining seaboards of mainland Cagayan, Aurora, and Cavite; the seaboards of Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, and Surigao del Sur; the western seaboards of southern Palawan and Antique; the eastern seaboard of Catanduanes and Davao Oriental

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• EMONG is forecast to gradually accelerate, initially eastward then northeastward tonight. On the track forecast, the typhoon will make landfall or pass very close to western Pangasinan in the next 3 hours. The typhoon may also make landfall in La Union or Ilocos Sur this late evening or tomorrow (25 July) early morning. It will then cross the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over the Babuyan Channel tomorrow morning or noon. Afterwards, EMONG will move northeastward and pass close or over Babuyan Islands between tomorrow noon and afternoon. It may also be passing near Batanes between tomorrow afternoon or evening.
• EMONG may still briefly intensify prior to landfall due to its compact circulation and favorable atmospheric and oceanic environment. While a landfall scenario as a typhoon remains the more likely scenario, a slight weakening prior to landfall due to increasing interaction with the terrain of northwestern Luzon is not ruled out. Nevertheless, the passage of EMONG will trigger a weakening trend, which is expected to continue for the rest of the forecast period.
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.
