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.

• On the forecast track, Uwan will emerge over the coastal waters of La Union this morning.
  Once over the West Philippine Sea, Uwan will maintain its strength until tomorrow (11 November)
  before gradually weakening due to marginally favorable environmental conditions.
• Uwan will begin to turn northwestward to northward from today until tomorrow (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 before weakening
  further into a remnant low.

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.

Safety Advice for CAR, La Union, and Northern Luzon

• Stay indoors and away from windows while peak winds are ongoing, especially in areas under Signal Nos. 4 and 3.
• Be alert for landslides in mountainous communities and flash floods along rivers and low-lying barangays.
• Avoid coastal areas due to combined risks of storm surge, high waves, and strong onshore winds.
• Follow evacuation orders and instructions from your LGUs and DRRM offices.
• Keep emergency kits, flashlights, batteries, potable water, and food supplies ready.
• Continuously monitor PAGASA bulletins and local government announcements.
