Super Typhoon Uwan continues to move west-northwest, prompting PAGASA to hoist Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 5 over six areas as of its 5 p.m. weather bulletin. Meanwhile, 20 areas remain under Signal No. 4. Interaction with northern Luzon’s mountainous terrain is expected to weaken the storm slightly, but it will remain at typhoon strength during its passage. PAGASA forecasts that Uwan will make landfall over Aurora between Sunday evening and early Monday, November 10, likely passing near Polillo Islands at peak intensity. The eye of Uwan was last monitored 110 km north of Daet, Camarines Norte, or 150 km east-northeast of Infanta, Quezon, moving west-northwest at 30 km/h with maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h and gusts up to 230 km/h. Authorities have also warned of life-threatening storm surges exceeding 3 meters over low-lying and coastal communities in numerous regions within the next 48 hours. Residents in affected areas are urged to prepare immediately and follow local government instructions.
