Areas with extreme cold should take caution to avoid frostbite and hypothermia, where staying indoors may be advised.

With all of this, it is best to prepare to handle the possibility of power outages and damage to infrastructure if you are in an area expected to see icing. All areas experiencing winter precip will see travel issues.

Arctic air will also intrude into the US, with the upper Midwest facing significant windchills with many areas experiencing -30s and some closer to -50. Cold air also will make its way farther south and could be problematic for areas with significant power outages

Areas along the precip transition zone may experience widespread amounts of .25 to .50, with some swaths potentially exceeding an inch.

Ayon sa PAGASA at ng JTWC, inaasahang sasailalim ang bagyo sa Rapid Intesification (mabilisang paglakas) habang binabayo nito ang mainit na karagatan sa silangan ng Visayas. Hindi inaalis ng PAGASA ang posibilidad na ito ay lumakas bilang isang Super Typhoon bago ito maglandfall.

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) forecasts a High-end Category 2 landfall, meanwhile further intensification into a Super Typhoon is not ruled out, according to PAGASA.

While maintaining its strength, rapid intensification prior to landfall is increasingly likely as it continues to consolidate and traverse into more warm waters over the Philippine Sea.
