Cloudy skies with light to moderate rain and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced over the provinces of Ilocos, Apayao, Batanes and Cagayan including Calayan and Babuyan group of islands, the state weather bureau said on Thursday.

The low pressure area (LPA) that was formerly Lando (Koppu) was tracked 160 kilometers east southeast of Basco, Batanes, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.

The LPA may dissipate before it gets out of the Philippine area of responsibility, Pagasa earlier said.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated thunderstorms will prevail over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northwest to southwest will prevail over Luzon and Eastern Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the south to southwest with slight to moderate seas.
