The tropical cyclone will then traverse the landmass of mainland Northern Luzon and emerge over the West Philippine Sea tomorrow evening.
'Nika' will continue moving west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Tuesday (November 12) afternoon or evening.
'Nika' is forecast to reach typhoon category today and 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. Re-intensification may occur over the West Philippine Sea.
