Travel Disruptions and Sea Conditions

A gale warning is 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. Sea travel is risky for all types of vessels. Mariners are advised to remain in port or seek safe harbor.

Looking Ahead

PAGASA forecasts that TINO will continue to traverse Visayas and northern Palawan before emerging over the West Philippine Sea by [05 November] morning. It is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by [06 November]. While interaction with the terrain may cause TINO to weaken slightly, it is expected to remain a typhoon throughout its passage.
