HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS

Heavy Rainfall

• Typhoon INDAY remains less likely to directly bring heavy rains in the country throughout the forecast period. However, its trough and the Southwest Monsoon may bring rains over Extreme Northern Luzon and the western sections of Central and Southern Luzon.  For more information, refer to the 24-Hour Public Weather Forecast issued at 4:00 PM today.

 

Severe Winds

• The latest forecast scenario for INDAY shows that while the hoisting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals remains less likely at this time, further westward shift in the track forecast and/or expansion in the extent of tropical cyclone winds may result in the hoisting of wind signals over portions of Extreme Northern Luzon.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

• Under the influence of Typhoon INDAY, a Gale Warning is in effect for the northern seaboards of Northern Luzon. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #1 issued at 5:00 PM today.

• In the next 24 hours, INDAY may bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern seaboard of Northern Luzon (1.2 to 3.0 m). These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating these conditions.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

• INDAY is forecast to move northwestward over the Philippine Sea until Sunday as it tracks towards the sea east of Taiwan before turning slowly north northwestward to northward on Monday. On the track forecast, INDAY may pass close to Miyako or Yaeyama Islands on Monday and exit the PAR on Tuesday. Outside the PAR, INDAY will accelerate generally north northwestward while moving over the East China Sea.

• Further intensification will continue until Monday as INDAY tracks northwestward over the Philippine Sea. However, the slightly cooler waters east of Taiwan and the forecast slow-down period over this sea area may result in a weakening trend beginning on Tuesday.

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 AM tomorrow
