TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK:
Do not focus on the center track as it may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone. Heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced far from the landfall point or center track, and even in areas outside the forecast confidence cone. Always refer to the latest hazard warnings currently in effect (e.g., Wind Signals, Heavy Rainfall Warnings, Storm Surge Warnings) and the information under “Other Hazards affecting Land Areas” of this bulletin for more details.
• UWAN is forecast to move west northwestward over the next 24 hours. On the track forecast, the center of the eye of UWAN will continue to move generally west northwestward over the coastal waters of Camarines Norte, pass close to Calaguas and Polillo Islands this afternoon or evening, respectively, before making landfall at or near its peak intensity (e.g., as a super typhoon or an upper limit typhoon) over the central portion of Aurora tonight or tomorrow (10 November) early morning. Due to its proximity, a direct hit (i.e., eyewall affecting the area without making landfall) over Calaguas and Polillo Islands is possible.
• 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 tomorrow morning. The interaction with the terrain will cause UWAN to weaken significantly, but it is expected to remain as typhoon throughout its passage over Northern Luzon.
• UWAN will begin to turn northwestward to northward from tomorrow to Tuesday (11 November) while remaining at typhoon category. On Wednesday (12 November), UWAN will turn northeastward towards the Taiwan Strait while weakening. It is forecast to make landfall over western Taiwan on Thursday (13 November), then rapidly weaken over the Taiwan landmass before emerging over the waters near Ryukyu Islands as a remnant low or weak tropical depression.
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.
