PAGASA: Rain expected over parts of PHL; incoming cyclone due Sunday night
Tropical Storm Dindo (Doksuri) may have left the country, but rain is still expected over parts of Luzon and the Visayas Saturday, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
PAGASA forecaster Connie Dadivas also said an incoming potential cyclone – a low-pressure area – may enter Philippine territory as early as Sunday evening.
"Ang southwest monsoon nakakaapekto ngayon sa kanlurang Luzon, medyo maganda ang magiging lagay ng panahon," Dadivas said in an interview on dzBB radio.
Dindo exited Philippine territory Friday morning. While disaster management officials initially recorded zero casualties, they noted the storm left many roads and bridges damaged.
For Saturday, Dadivas said the western part of Central and Southern Luzon, including Metro Manila, can expect occasional rain due to the monsoon.
Western Visayas will also be cloudy with thunderstorms and rain showers, she added.
On the other hand, she said an incoming low-pressure area (LPA) may enter Philippine territory as early as Sunday evening.
If the LPA becomes a cyclone while in Philippine territory, it will be locally codenamed "Enteng."
"We expect it to enter the boundary of Philippine territory Sunday evening but it would still be an LPA by then," Dadivas said.
PAGASA's 5 a.m. bulletin said the western section of Central and Southern Luzon will experience occasional rain.
"Western Visayas will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, while the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms," it said.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest to southeast will prevail over Luzon and from the northeast to southeast over the rest of the country.
The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough, it added.
Dadivas advised fishermen to be alert against big waves especially in the western seaboard of Luzon.
She said waves could reach up to 3.4 to five meters, while waves at the northern seaboard of Luzon can reach up to 4.5 meters. — LBG, GMA News
