Dakong 7:00 am, huling namataan si Uwan sa layong 125 km silangan-hilagang silangan ng Virac, Catanduanes, taglay ang lakas ng hanging umaabot sa 185 km/h malapit sa gitna at pagbugso ng hanggang 230 km/h, at kumikilos pakanluran-hilagang kanluran sa bilis na 25 km/h.
Ayon sa PAGASA, ang wind signal ay babala sa mga mamamayan hinggil sa panganib ng malalakas na hangin dulot ng bagyo. Mas malalakas ang ihip ng hangin sa mga baybayin at bulubunduking lugar na nakaharap sa direksyon ng hangin.
Sa loob ng susunod na 48 oras, may mataas na panganib at mapaminsalang storm surge na maaaring lumampas sa 3.0 metro, lalo na sa mga mababang o baybaying komunidad ng Cagayan, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, at Siargao at Bucas Grande Islands.
May nakataas ding gale warning sa mga karagatan ng Hilaga at Gitnang Luzon, silangan at timog ng Luzon, silangan at gitnang bahagi ng Visayas, at silangang bahagi ng Mindanao.
Inaasahang kikilos si Uwan patungong kanluran-hilagang kanluran sa loob ng 24 oras.
Maaaring dumaan malapit sa Catanduanes ngayong umaga at mag-landfall sa Aurora sa gabi ng Linggo o madaling araw ng Lunes.
“Due to its proximity, a direct hit (i.e., eyewall affecting the area without making landfall) or a landfall scenario over Catanduanes is possible,” ayon sa PAGASA.
“Heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities far from the landfall point and outside the forecast confidence cone,” dagdag nito
Patuloy pa nito, “The interaction with the terrain will cause Uwan to weaken significantly, but it is expected to remain as a typhoon throughout its passage over Northern Luzon,” state meteorologists said.
“After landfall, Uwan will traverse the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union on tomorrow (Monday) morning,” ayon pa sa PAGASA.
Pagsapit ng Martes, kikilos ito pa-hilagang kanluran at lalabas ng Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), bago muling pumasok sa hilagang-kanlurang bahagi ng PAR sa Huwebes, tatawirin ang Taiwan, at tuluyang lalabas ng PAR sa Biyernes ng umaga.-- Mariel Celine Serquina/FRJ GMA Integrated News
