Coastal and Storm Surge Warnings

A high risk of life-threatening storm surge persists along the coasts of Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and La Union, with peak surge heights exceeding 3 meters. Residents in low-lying and exposed coastal areas should remain vigilant and follow safety instructions.

Sea Conditions and Gale Warnings

Severe sea conditions continue, making sea travel extremely hazardous. Mariners are advised to stay in port.

• Very Rough Seas:
  • Up to 4.5 meters in Ilocos Region seaboards and western seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands
• Rough Seas:
  • Up to 4.0 meters in Zambales seaboard
  • Up to 3.5 meters in remaining Batanes and Babuyan Islands seaboards, and northern seaboard of mainland Cagayan
  • Up to 3.0 meters in remaining Cagayan seaboard and Isabela seaboard
• Moderate Seas:
  • Up to 2.5 meters in northern Aurora, western Bataan, Lubang Islands, Calamian Islands, and mainland Palawan
  • Up to 2.0 meters in remaining Aurora seaboard, Polillo Islands, Catanduanes, and Northern Samar seaboards, and coastal waters of Camarines Norte and Surigao del Sur

Track and Intensity Outlook

Typhoon Marce is expected to continue moving westward and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by this afternoon or evening. It will continue to weaken in the coming days due to dry air intrusion from the northeasterly wind flow.

Advisory for Residents and Local Authorities

• Evacuate if Necessary: Follow instructions from local officials, especially for those in storm surge-prone and coastal areas.
• Secure Properties: Prepare for lingering strong winds and ensure that any outdoor items are secured.
• Avoid Coastal Areas: Refrain from coastal activities and travel as high waves and storm surge risks remain.

Stay informed through PAGASA updates and local government advisories as Typhoon Marce exits the area. Prioritize safety and remain cautious.
