Just hours after Typhoon Marce exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) detected a new tropical cyclone threat within its monitoring domain. Pagasa cautioned the public about the potential development of another tropical cyclone, raising the Tropical Cyclone (TC) Threat Potential as conditions indicate a heightened likelihood of formation within the forecast period.
According to Pagasa, the recent departure of Typhoon Marce from PAR does not mark the end of possible weather disturbances. The agency’s latest monitoring data shows a developing system that could evolve into a tropical cyclone in the coming days. While specific characteristics of this new disturbance, such as projected path or intensity, remain uncertain, Pagasa assured that it would closely observe any changes and issue timely updates to inform the public of significant developments.
As of 4:00 PM today, Typhoon Marce officially exited PAR, marking the end of its direct impact on the Philippines. However, Marce’s departure left atmospheric and sea conditions that remain conducive to new cyclone formation. Pagasa advised the public to stay alert, as the likelihood of another storm within the forecast period remains high, with potential implications for various regions.
This new tropical threat has prompted Pagasa to keep the TC Threat Potential elevated, signaling that caution is still warranted. Pagasa emphasized the importance of vigilance, particularly for communities previously affected by Marce and those situated in cyclone-prone areas. Enhanced preparations and disaster-readiness measures are advised, as additional rainfall and strong winds may affect areas already experiencing residual effects from Marce’s presence.
The agency also reminded the public to stay updated with the latest bulletins and advisories, as weather forecasts may evolve rapidly. Any significant changes to the current cyclone outlook, including formation likelihood, projected path, and potential intensification, will be shared as soon as they are available.
While Typhoon Marce may have left Philippine territory, the threat of new storms remains active. Pagasa urges communities to remain informed and prepared, emphasizing the importance of readiness as the cyclone season continues to pose risks to the archipelago.
