  • Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible in areas under TCWS No. 2.
  • Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible in areas under TCWS No. 1.

The northeasterly wind flow, combined with the outer bands of Marce, will bring strong to gale-force gusts over:

  • Today (8 November): Batanes, northern Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, and Ilocos Region.

Coastal Inundation:

A high risk of life-threatening storm surge exceeding 3.0 meters is expected in the next 48 hours over low-lying or exposed coastal areas in Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and La Union.

Hazards Affecting Coastal Waters

A Gale Warning remains in effect for the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon. Sea travel is risky for all vessel types, especially for small and unprepared crafts.

24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook:

  • Up to very rough seas (4.5 m): Seaboards of Ilocos Region; western seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands
  • Up to rough seas (4.0 m): Seaboard of Zambales
  • Up to rough seas (3.5 m): Remaining seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands; northern seaboard of mainland Cagayan
  • Up to rough seas (3.0 m): Remaining seaboard of mainland Cagayan, seaboard of Isabela
  • Up to moderate seas (2.5 m): Seaboard of northern Aurora; western seaboards of Bataan, Lubang Islands, Calamian Islands, and mainland Palawan

Mariners are advised to remain in port or seek safe harbor until sea conditions improve.

Track and Intensity Outlook

Typhoon Marce is forecast to continue moving generally westward and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this afternoon or evening. The surge of the northeasterly wind flow will shift its movement southwestward by Sunday, November 10.

Marce is expected to gradually weaken over the coming days due to possible dry air intrusion but will remain classified as a typhoon throughout its time within the PAR.
