“Uwan” is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Monday evening (November 10) or early Tuesday (November 11). However, PAGASA said it may re-enter PAR on Wednesday (November 12) evening as it makes landfall along Taiwan's southwestern coast, resulting in further weakening.
“It will then emerge over the waters near Ryukyu Islands on Thursday (13 November), where it is expected to eventually weaken into a remnant low on Friday (14 November),” it said.
