The highest Wind Signal that will likely be hoisted throughout its passage is Wind Signal No. 5.
Furthermore, outside the areas under Wind Signals, UWAN will also bring occasionally gusty conditions reaching strong to gale-force strength over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
โข Today (09 November): Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao.
โข Tomorrow (10 November): Most of Luzon and Visayas.

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 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 Monday morning.
โข UWAN is forecast to reach super typhoon category and 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.
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 8:00 AM today.
