TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK:
โข Heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities far from the landfall point and outside the forecast confidence cone. Refer to โOther Hazards affecting Land Areasโ for more details. Furthermore, the track may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone.
โข UWAN is forecast to move west northwestward over the next 24 hours. On the track forecast, the center of the eye of UWAN may pass close to Catanduanes this morning and make landfall over Aurora tonight or tomorrow early morning. Due to its proximity, a direct hit (i.e., eyewall affecting the area without making landfall) or a landfall scenario over Catanduanes is possible.
โข UWAN may make landfall at or near its peak lifetime intensity. The interaction with the terrain will cause UWAN to weaken significantly, but it is expected to remain as a typhoon throughout its passage over Northern Luzon.
โข After landfall, UWAN will traverse the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union on tomorrow morning. By Tuesday (11 November), UWAN will begin to move northwestward until it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) before turning northeastward. The center of UWAN will re-enter the northwestern boundary of PAR by Thursday (13 November) traversing the landmass of Taiwan and will exit PAR by Friday (14 November) morning.
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 AM today.
