“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,” PAGASA said.
Meanwhile, the surge of the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) and the shear line coinciding with the passage of Tino will bring strong to gale-force gusts over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Bicol Region, on Tuesday.
Within the next 48 hours, a high risk of life-threatening and damaging storm surge with peak heights exceeding 3.0 m is expected over the low-lying or exposed coastal communities of Masbate, Romblon, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Central Visayas, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Oriental, and Camiguin.
A gale warning is also in effect over the eastern seaboard of Northern Luzon, the eastern and southern seaboards of Southern Luzon, the seaboards of Visayas, and the northern and eastern seaboards of Mindanao.
Tino is expected to make landfall or pass very close to Homonhon Island or the Dinagat Islands tonight.
Then, it is forecast to make landfall over Leyte or Southern Leyte by early Tuesday morning, before crossing the Visayas and northern Palawan throughout Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.
“Heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced in localities outside the landfall point and the forecast confidence cone,” PAGASA said.
It added that the storm will likely emerge over the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday morning or afternoon and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday.
“Tino is forecast to make its initial landfall at or near peak intensity. Rapid intensification before landfall remains likely,” PAGASA said.
“While the interaction of the typhoon with the terrain will trigger a slight weakening, Tino is expected to remain at typhoon category throughout its passage over the country,” it added. –NB, GMA Integrated News
