MANILA, Philippines — A low pressure area was seen east of Visayas, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Friday.

As of 2 a.m., the LPA was seen 420 kilometers east of Visayas embedded along the intertropical convergence zone affecting the Visayas and Mindanao, it said.

The Bicol region, Visayas and Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, while the rest of Luzon will be mostly cloudy with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms, the state-run
weather bureau said.

Light to moderate winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and coming from the northwest to southwest over the rest of the country, it added.

The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate, it also said.
