Potential Super Typhoon Uwan Nears Luzon
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring a developing storm east of Mindanao. It is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as Typhoon Uwan by tonight or early tomorrow.
The storm may intensify into a super typhoon while approaching Northern Luzon.
Current Status and Movement
At 10 a.m., the system was a large tropical storm located about 1,645 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao, moving northwest at roughly 10 kilometers per hour.
Forecast and Path
Forecast models predict sustained strengthening due to favorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the next few days. Once inside the PAR, Uwan (international name Fung-wong) is expected to head toward Northern Luzon, potentially making landfall in Isabela or Aurora provinces.
Expected Impact
- Destructive winds
- Heavy rainfall
- Dangerous coastal conditions including storm surges, especially along the eastern seaboard
"Weather agencies are preparing to raise tropical cyclone wind signals and storm surge advisories as the system moves closer to land."
Author's summary: Typhoon Uwan is strengthening rapidly and poses a significant threat to Northern Luzon with heavy winds, rain, and coastal hazards expected within days.
