PAGASA hints at improved weather in north as cold front weakens
State weather forecasters hinted Wednesday at improved weather in the northern part of the country in the next few days as a tail-end of a cold front has weakened.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the tail-end of the cold front may no longer affect any part of the country.
"The effects of the tail-end of a cold front has weakened and expected not to affect the weather situation in any parts of the country for the next few days," it said in its 11 a.m. advisory.
The Weather Channel defines a cold front as the leading edge of an advancing cold air mass that is under running and displacing the warmer air in its path.
With the passage of a cold front, temperature and humidity are likely to decrease, pressure is likely to rise, and the wind may shift. It may also bring rrecipitation or rain.
In posts on its Twitter account, PAGASA said residents in Pangasinan in Northern Luzon can expect "sunny conditions this weekend (with) a only minimal chance for rainshowers."
On the other hand, it said rain showers and thunderstorms still loom over parts of Mindanao, which is being affected by the easterlies, or winds from the east.
As of 11 a.m., it said rain showers and thunderstorms were moving into Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur.
In past days, the tail-end of the cold front had brought rain to parts of the country.
Earlier this week, PAGASA said the tail-end of the cold front had affected parts of Luzon. — RSJ, GMA News
