Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 2. Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1. The highest Wind Signal which may be hoisted during the occurrence of NIKA is Wind Signal No. 4. Furthermore, the northeasterly wind flow will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds): Today (10 November): Batanes, Babuyan Islands, northern Cagayan, and Ilocos Norte Tomorrow (11 November): Batanes, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes Tuesday (12 November): Batanes and Cagayan including Babuyan Islands Coastal Inundation There is a minimal to moderate risk of storm surge may occur in the next 48 hours in the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Zambales, Aurora, Quezon including Polillo Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, and Catanduanes.

Up to 2.0 m: The remaining seaboards western and eastern seaboards of Luzon; the eastern seaboards of Eastern Visayas and Dinagat Islands Mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions. TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK NIKA is forecast to move generally west northwestward throughout the forecast period. On the track forecast, it may make landfall over Isabela or Aurora tomorrow (11 November) afternoon. Regardless of the position of the landfall point, it must be emphasized that hazards may still be experienced in areas outside the landfall point or within the forecast confidence cone. This tropical cyclone is currently undergoing rapid intensification and may reach typhoon category today. It may reach its peak intensity prior to landfall. A short period of weakening is expected as NIKA traverses the landmass of Luzon due to land interaction, but NIKA may slightly intensify over the West Philippine Sea but is expected to remain as a severe tropical storm throughout the rest of forecast period.
