Storm surge, sea conditionsCoastal areas in several regions are at high risk of life-threatening storm surges in the next 48 hours, with peak heights possibly exceeding 3 meters.
Areas such as Ilocos Region, Isabela, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Marinduque, Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar and Biliran are particularly vulnerable.
A gale warning is also in effect for the eastern and southern seaboards of Southern Luzon and the eastern seaboard of the Visayas.
PAGASA also warned of hazardous sea conditions for the next 24 hours, with rough and very rough seas expected to affect various coastal areas.
Based on its latest sea outlook, the Catanduanes seaboard will experience very rough to high seas with waves reaching up to 14 meters. This is followed by high seas in Northern Camarines Sur, where waves may reach up to 12 meters.
Rough seas are expected in the northern and eastern seaboards of Northern Samar and Camarines Norte, with waves as high as 9 meters.
Meanwhile, the eastern seaboards of Albay, Sorsogon, and Eastern Samar are likely to face rough seas with waves reaching up to 7 meters.
PAGASA said that sea travel is dangerous for all vessels due to the extreme conditions.
Track, intensity outlookPepito is expected to make landfall near Catanduanes Saturday night or early Sunday, November 17 It will move west northwestward before turning southwestward by Monday, November 18.
While Catanduanes is the likely landfall point, PAGASA warned that the storm's path could shift slightly.
PAGASA said Pepito could also make landfall over the eastern coasts of Camarines Sur or Albay Saturday night, or along the eastern shores of Quezon or Aurora on Sunday.
Pepito will then move westward, passing over Bicol, Central Luzon, Quezon and parts of Ilocos and Cordillera before heading out into the West Philippine Sea.
The state weather bureau said the super typhoon is approaching its peak intensity, with some weakening expected due to eyewall replacement.
However, Pepito is likely to hit Catanduanes as a super typhoon, and remain strong when it reaches Quezon or Aurora.
It will weaken as it moves over mainland Luzon but is expected to remain a typhoon until it exits the Philippine area of responsibility on Monday.pogo88
