Uwan is expected to follow a recurving path, turning northwestward today, then moving northward by Monday, November 11, and northeastward in the succeeding days. A brief re-intensification is possible as the system moves over the waters southwest of Taiwan, although gradual weakening is anticipated starting Tuesday, November 12.
"UWAN is forecast to exit PAR tonight or tomorrow early morning," said the state weather bureau.
However, PAGASA reported that it could re-enter PAR by Wednesday evening as it approaches and makes landfall along the southwestern coast of Taiwan, where it is likely to weaken further.
On Thursday, November 13, the system is expected to move toward the waters near the Ryukyu Islands, before dissipating into a remnant low by Friday, November 14.
