Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan are forecast to have overcast skies and rain showers due to the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” on Friday.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are expected in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

Pagasa did not raise gale warnings over any of the country’s seaboards.
