PAGASA said the Southwest Monsoon enhanced by Egay would continue to bring occasional monsoon rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas in the next three days.
The typhoon is forecast to exhibit trochoidal or wobbling motion while in the vicinity of the Babuyan Islands, moving generally northwestward or north-northwestward.
It will gradually weaken throughout the forecast period due to the slightly favorable environment offsetting the impact of land interaction with Northern Luzon and Taiwan.
Egay is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Thursday morning.
