OTHER HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS

Heavy Rainfall Outlook
Refer to Weather Advisory No. 52 issued at 2:00 PM today for the heavy rainfall outlook associated with “PEPITO”.
Severe Winds
The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone. Local winds may be slightly
stronger/enhanced in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind
direction.
 Extreme impacts from typhoon-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 5.
 Significant to severe impacts from typhoon-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 4.
 Moderate to significant impacts from storm-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 3.
 Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 2.
 Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1.
Coastal Inundation
There is a high risk of life-threatening storm surge with peak surge heights exceeding 3.0 m in the next 48 hours over the low-lying or
exposed coastal localities of Ilocos Region (western coast), Isabela, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Marinduque, and Bicol
Region. Refer to Storm Surge Warning No. 11 issued at 2:00 PM today for the details.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
A Gale Warning is hoisted over the eastern and western seaboards of Luzon. Refer to Gale Warning No. 14A issued at 11:00 AM today
for the details.
24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook

Note: These are forecast sea condition over the coastal waters and not related to storm surge heights or inundation.
Up to very rough, high, or very high seas over the following coastal waters:
 Up to 14.0 m: The northern and eastern seaboards of Polillo Islands; the seaboard of Aurora
 Up to 12.0 m: The seaboard of Camarines Norte
 Up to 9.0 m: The seaboard of northern Quezon
 Up to 8.0 m: The seaboard of Isabela.
 Up to 7.0 m: The northern and eastern seaboards of Catanduanes; the northern seaboard of Camarines Sur
 Up to 5.0 m: The eastern seaboards of mainland Cagayan, Camarines Sur, and Albay; the remaining seaboards of Polillo Islands and
Catanduanes.
 Up to 4.5 m: The seaboards of Sorsogon and Northern Samar; the eastern seaboard of Eastern Samar; the remaining seaboards of
Camarines Sur, Albay, and Quezon; the seaboards of Ilocos Region, Masbate including Burias and Ticao Islands, and Marinduque
 Sea travel is risky for all types or tonnage of vessels. All mariners must remain in port or, if underway, seek shelter or safe
harbor as soon as possible until winds and waves subside.

Up to rough seas over the following coastal waters:

 Up to 4.0 m: The seaboards of Batanes, northern Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, and Zambales
 Up to 3.0 m: The seaboards of Romblon; the remaining seaboards of Zambales; the eastern seaboard of Oriental Mindoro
 Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions,
especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.
Up to moderate seas over the following coastal waters:

 Up to 2.5 m: The western seaboard of Bataan; the eastern seaboard of Dinagat Islands
 Up to 2.0 m: The seaboards of Metro Manila, Aklan, Antique, northeastern Iloilo, northern Negros Occidental, northern Cebu including
Bantayan Islands, and Biliran; the northern and eastern seaboards of Leyte; the eastern seaboards of Southern Leyte, Surigao del Sur,
Davao Oriental; the northern and western seaboards of Dinagat Islands; the remaining seaboards of Bataan and CALABARZON; the
northern seaboards of Occidental Mindoro including Lubang Islands and Oriental Mindoro.
 Mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and,
if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

 PEPITO will move generally west northwestward or northwestward and is forecast to make landfall in the vicinity of Aurora between 2:00
PM and 5:00 PM today. Afterwards, it will cross the northern portion of Central Luzon and the southern portion of Northern Luzon via the
upland regions of the Sierra Madre, Caraballo, and Cordillera Central between this afternoon and evening. PEPITO is forecast to exit the
landmass of Luzon tonight or tomorrow early morning (18 November).
 Over the West Philippine Sea, PEPITO will continue moving generally west northwestward tomorrow. It may exit the PAR region tomorrow
morning or noon. Outside the PAR region, the tropical cyclone will turn more westward or west southwestward on Tuesday (19 November)
under the influence of an incoming northeasterly wind surge.
 It must be emphasized that heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities outside the landfall
point and the forecast confidence cone. Refer to “Other Hazards affecting Land Areas” for more details. Furthermore, the track
may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone.
 PEPITO will make landfall as super typhoon. Significant weakening will occur during the passage of this tropical cyclone over mainland
Luzon today. Further weakening will also occur as PEPITO moves over the West Philippine Sea due to the incoming northeasterly wind
surge.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary
measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow
evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather
information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 PM today.
