Gusty conditions may be experienced today over Northern Luzon, especially in coastal and mountainous areas due to the Northeast Monsoon enhanced by "RAMON".

Sea travel is risky, especially for small sea crafts, over the seaboards of areas under TCWS, the seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon due to prevailing or forecast rough sea conditions.
