The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities outside the landfall point and the forecast confidence cone.
According to the track forecast, Tino will move generally westward for the next 24 hours and may make its initial landfall over the vicinity of the southern portion of Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, or Dinagat Islands Monday night or early morning Tuesday, November 4.
Afterwards, Tino will traverse Visayas and northern Palawan before emerging over the West Philippine Sea on Wednesday afternoon, November 5.
“This weather disturbance may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday (06 November) morning,” said Pagasa.
Tino was also forecast to make its initial landfall at or near peak intensity (currently forecasted around 150-165 km/h maximum winds with higher gustiness).
“Rapid intensification within the next 24 hours is likely. While its interaction with the terrain will trigger a slight weakening, Tino is expected to remain as a typhoon throughout its passage over the country,” said Pagasa. (LRM)
