Low pressure area spotted over Eastern Samar—Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines – A low pressure area was seen in the direction of Eastern Samar Friday morning, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

In its latest weather forecast, Pagasa said the weather disturbance was seen 800 kilometers east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar.

Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will have mostly cloudy skies and scattered rainshowers and isolated thunderstorms, becoming cloudy with widespread rains over Eastern Visayas and Northeastern Mindanao, Pagasa said. Rains may trigger flashfloods and landslides, the state-run weather bureau warned.

Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy at times with isolated light rains, Pagasa said.

“Moderate to strong winds blowing from the Northeast will prevail over Luzon and Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the Northeast to Northwest with slight to moderate seas,” Pagasa added.
