Typhoon Marce made landfall in Sta. Ana, Cagayan at 3:40PM on Thursday, November 7,

As of 5:00PM, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said that Typhoon Marce has a maximum wind strength of 175 kph, and gustiness of up to 240 kph.

PAGASA said that Typhoon Marce moves westward with a speed of 10 kph.

The state weather forecasting agency expects Typhoon Marce will emerge over Aparri Bay, and possibly make another landfall along the coast of northwestern mainland Cagayan.

"Weakening is expected within the day due to interaction with the terrain of mainland Luzon and the possible dry air intrusion from the prevailing northeasterly wind flow," PAGASA said in a weather bulletin.

"Nevertheless, it will remain as a typhoon throughout its passage within the PAR region. The surge of the northeasterly wind flow will trigger a continuous period of weakening during the weekend," the agency added.

PAGASA predicts that Typhoon Marce will leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Friday, November 8.
