MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Marce (international name: Yinxing) is approaching northeastern Cagayan and will likely make landfall by Thursday afternoon or Friday early morning, the state weather agency said.

In its 11 a.m. typhoon bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that Marce “will make a landfall and traverse the Babuyan Islands and/or the northern portions of mainland Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Apayao.”

Pagasa noted that these areas will experience “potentially life-threatening conditions due to typhoon-force winds, storm surge inundation, and torrential rainfall.”
