OTHER HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall Outlook
Refer to Weather Advisory No. 5 issued at 5:00 AM today for the heavy rainfall outlook due to UWAN.
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.
• Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 2.
• 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, 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):
• Today and tomorrow (09 November): Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao.
• Monday (10 November): Luzon and Visayas.
Coastal Flooding
There is a high risk of life-threatening and damaging storm surge with peak heights exceeding 3.0 m within the next 48 hours over the low-lying or exposed coastal communities of Isabela, Aurora, Quezon including Polillo Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsgon, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar. Refer to Storm Surge Warning No. 2 issued at 2:00 AM today for more details.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

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 is forecast to move west northwestward until Monday (10 November) before turning generally north northwestward by Tuesday (11 November). On the track forecast, the center of UWAN may make landfall over the southern portion of Isabela or the northern portion of Aurora tomorrow (09 November) late evening or Monday 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.
• UWAN is forecast to rapidly intensify and may reach super typhoon category tonight or tomorrow morning. It may also make landfall at or near its peak lifetime intensity. The interaction with the terrain will cause UWAN to weaken, but it is expected to remain as a typhoon throughout its passage over Northern Luzon and West Philippine Sea.
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.
