Tropical depression may become super typhoon upon entering PAR — PAGASA
PAGASA is monitoring a tropical depression located 1,690 km east of Northeastern Mindanao, which may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Friday evening or Saturday and be named 'Uwan'.
The tropical depression is currently moving west southwestward at 20 km/h, with maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h and gustiness of up to 70 km/h.
It is forecast to slow down in the next 12 hours before gradually accelerating northwestward until Friday morning, then turning west northwestward on Friday evening or Saturday.
There is an increasing possibility of the tropical cyclone making landfall in the country, though the exact location and timing remain uncertain.
The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) forecasts it may pack maximum winds of 203 kilometers per hour and gusts reaching 250 kph by Sunday, and PAGASA forecasts it may reach typhoon category by Thursday, November 06 and super typhoon status during the weekend.
Rough seas are anticipated along the northern and eastern seaboards starting Saturday.
Another typhoon, Tino, is currently affecting parts of Visayas and Luzon and is expected to leave the PAR by Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
