LPA to bring cloudy skies, scattered rains over Metro Manila, nearby provinces

A Low Pressure Area (LPA) located at 35 kilometers south southwest of Alabat, Quezon is expected to bring rains over parts of Luzon while the effects of the northeast monsoon or amihan will be felt in extreme northern Luzon, PAGASA reported in its early morning forecast.

Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, and Pangasinan will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms brought about by the LPA with possible flash floods or landslides occurring during moderate to heavy rains.

Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with light rains due to the northeast monsoon with no significant impact.

The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers due to localized thunderstorms with possible flashfloods or landslides occurring during severe thunderstorms.

The northern and western sections of northern Luzon will have moderate to strong wind speed moving northeastward with moderate to rough coastal waters.

The rest of the country will have light to moderate wind speed moving eastward with slight to moderate coastal waters.

The sun will rise by 6:10 a.m. and set by 5:27 p.m. -- BAP, GMA News
