On the forecast track, MARCE may make landfall in the vicinity of Babuyan Islands or over the northern portion of mainland Cagayan on Thursday evening (7 November) or Friday (8 November) early morning. Due to uncertainty in the strength of the high pressure area north of MARCE, the forecast track may still change and bring the landfall point to mainland Cagayan-Isabela area. MARCE may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) region on Friday evening or Saturday (9 November) early morning.
