  • Heavy to Intense: Batanes and Isabela (100–200 mm)
  • Moderate to Heavy: La Union, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Benguet, and Ifugao (50–100 mm)

The heavy rainfall could lead to flooding and landslides, particularly in elevated or mountainous regions. Residents are advised to take precautions.

Coastal Inundation:

There is a high risk of life-threatening storm surge with peak surge heights exceeding 3.0 meters in the next 48 hours over the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of:

  • Batanes
  • Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands
  • Isabela
  • Ilocos Norte
  • Ilocos Sur
  • La Union

Hazards Affecting Coastal Waters:

A Gale Warning is in effect for the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the western seaboard of Central Luzon. Sea travel is risky for all types or tonnage of vessels, and mariners are advised to remain in port or seek shelter.

24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook:

  • Up to 12.0 m: The seaboard of Babuyan Islands and Ilocos Norte; the northern seaboards of mainland Cagayan
  • Up to 8.0 m: The remaining seaboard of Cagayan
  • Up to 7.0 m: The seaboards of Batanes and Ilocos Sur
  • Up to 5.0 m: The remaining seaboard of Ilocos Region
  • Up to 4.5 m: The seaboards of northern Zambales and Isabela

Sea travel is risky, especially for small vessels. Mariners are advised to avoid navigation under these conditions.

Track and Intensity Outlook:

Typhoon #MarcePH is expected to continue moving generally westward and may make another landfall along the coast of northwestern mainland Cagayan tonight. The typhoon is forecast to emerge over the West Philippine Sea early on November 8, 2024.

The storm is expected to continue weakening as it moves across northern Luzon, though it will remain a typhoon throughout its passage within the Philippine Area of Responsibility. The surge of the northeasterly wind flow will likely lead to a continuous weakening of the storm during the weekend.

PAGASA advises the public to stay updated on further advisories and take the necessary precautions as Typhoon #MarcePH progresses.
