Severe Winds

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. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind direction.

• Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1.

Furthermore the Northeast Monsoon will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas not under Wind Signal (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):

• Today: Most of Luzon and Visayas.
• Tomorrow (06 December): Most of Luzon, Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula
• Sunday (07 December): Most of Luzon, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Misamis Occidental.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

Gale Warning is in effect over the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboards of Luzon and Visayas. Refer to Gale Warning No. 6 issued at 5:00 AM today.
Link: tinyurl.com/gale-warning

24-Hour Sea Condition Outlook

Up to very rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 5.5 m: The northern and eastern seaboards of Catanduanes; the seaboards of Northern Samar.
• Up to 5.0 m: The northern and eastern seaboards of Polillo Islands, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur; the eastern seaboards of Albay and Sorsogon.
• Up to 4.5 m: The eastern seaboards of Isabela, Aurora, northern mainland Quezon, and Eastern Samar; the seaboards of Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur.
• Sea travel is risky for all types or tonnage of vessels. All mariners must remain in port or, if underway, seek shelter or safe harbor as soon as possible until winds and waves subside.

Up to rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 4.0 m: The eastern seaboards of Dinagat Islands and Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands.
• Up to 3.5 m: The remaining seaboards of Ilocos Region.
• Up to 3.0 m: The eastern seaboards of Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental; the seaboards of Zambales and Kalayaan Islands.
• Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced of operating ill-equipped vessels.

Up to moderate to rough seas over the following coastal waters:
• Up to 2.5 m: The western seaboards of Bataan, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro including Lubang Island, and Palawan; the seaboards of Cuyo Islands; the western seaboard of Antique; the southern seaboard of Davao Oriental and Davao Occidental.
• Up to 2.0 m: The remaining seaboards of Palawan, Quezon, Camarines Sur, and Antique; the seaboards of Romblon, Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, and Aklan; the northwestern seaboard of Masbate including Burias Islands.
• Mariners of motorbancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

• It must be emphasized that heavy rainfall and severe winds may still be experienced in localities outside the landfall point and the forecast confidence cone. Refer to “Other Hazards affecting Land Areas” for more details. Furthermore, the track may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone.
• WILMA is forecast to move west southwestward until tomorrow (06 December) before turning generally westward for the remaining forecast period. On the forecast track, the center of WILMA may make its initial landfall or pass close over Eastern Visayas or Dinagat Islands between this evening and tomorrow morning. Afterwards, it will continue to traverse Visayas until Sunday (07 December). It will then emerge over Sulu Sea and may pass over northern Palawan by Monday (08 December) morning.
• WILMA will slightly intensify before landfall but will likely remain as a tropical depression throughout the forecast period. Further intensification is possible once it emerges over the West Philippine Sea.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.

The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 8:00 AM today.
