PAGASA warned that Typhoon Uwan continues to intensify and may reach the super typhoon category as it moves closer to Luzon, potentially bringing heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surges across wide areas even beyond its forecast track.

After landfall, Typhoon Uwan is forecast to cross the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon, weakening slightly due to land interaction before re-emerging over the Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union by Monday morning or afternoon.

PAGASA warned the public that hazardous weather may affect areas far from the landfall point and even outside the forecast confidence cone, with flooding, landslides, and coastal inundation remaining possible in several regions.
