Severe Winds

• The latest forecast scenario for INDAY shows that the hoisting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals remains less likely at this time.

• Gusty conditions reaching strong to gale-force strength may be experienced over Extreme Northern Luzon tomorrow through Wednesday due to the channeling of the typhoon circulation in the Luzon Strait.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

•  Under the influence of Typhoon INDAY, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #3 issued at 5:00 PM today.

• In the next 24 hours, INDAY may also bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern seaboard and the remaining northern 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 north northwestward in the next 12 hours before turning northward towards the vicinity of Yaeyama Islands. On the track forecast, INDAY may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Tuesday morning. Outside the PAR, INDAY will move slowly northward over the East China Sea and gradually accelerate north northwestward on Wednesday.  

• Typhoon INDAY is forecast to maintain its strength within 24 hours. Afterwards, the slightly cooler waters east of Taiwan and the forecast slow-down period over this sea area may result in a weakening trend beginning late tomorrow or 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.
