'Marce' now a typhoon; parts of N. Luzon still under signal no. 1
Severe Tropical Storm "Marce" (international name: Yinxing) intensified into a typhoon at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, with maximum sustained winds of 120 kph and gustiness of up to 150 kph.
The typhoon was located 590 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora, moving west-northwestward at a faster 30 kph.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 is raised over Batanes, Cagayan (including Babuyan Islands), Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, northern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, northern portion of Quirino, and northern portion of Aurora.
PAGASA warned that Signal No. 4 may be issued as the typhoon approaches northern Luzon.
Marce is expected to continue intensifying and may reach its peak intensity before making landfall over Babuyan Islands or Cagayan on Thursday evening or Friday early morning.
This slowdown over the sea may last a couple of days, meaning the typhoon could dump more rain while lingering east of Northern Luzon.
