The LPA’s trough will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, Caraga, Davao Region, Western Visayas, and Central Visayas.
Pagasa warned that flash floods or landslides are possible in these areas due to scattered moderate to at times heavy rains.
The LPA, however, is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression, Pagasa noted.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon or amihan is expected to bring overcast skies with light rains in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Marinduque, Romblon, and Mindoro provinces within the next 24 hours, according to Pagasa.
