HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall
Typhoon INDAY remains less likely to directly bring heavy rains in the country throughout the forecast period. However, its outermost rainbands and the Southwest Monsoon may bring rainshowers and thunderstorms over Batanes and the western sections of Central and Southern Luzon. For more information, refer to the 24-Hour Public Weather Forecast issued at 4:00 PM today.
Severe Winds
• The latest forecast scenario for INDAY shows that while the hoisting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals remains less likely at this time, further westward shift in the track forecast and/or expansion in the extent of tropical cyclone winds may result in the hoisting of wind signals over portions of Extreme Northern Luzon.
• Gusty conditions reaching strong to gale-force strength may be experienced over Extreme Northern Luzon tomorrow due to the channeling of the typhoon circulation in the Luzon Strait.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Under the influence of Typhoon INDAY, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #3 issued at 5:00 PM today.
• In the next 24 hours, INDAY may also bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern seaboard and the remaining northern seaboard of Northern Luzon (1.2 to 3.0 m). These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating these conditions.
