LPA's trough to bring scattered rain showers over Visayas, parts of Mindanao

The trough or extension of a low pressure area (LPA) will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms on Sunday over Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Zamboanga Peninsula, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Flash floods or landslides may result due to moderate to at times heavy rains, it added.

At 3 a.m., the LPA was estimated to be located at 1,315 km east of Central Luzon.

"Maliit ang tiyansa na ito ay maging bagyo within the next 24 hours," PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

(This has a small chance of becoming a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.)

PAGASA will continue to monitor the LPA which may go nearer the country in the coming days, Badrina said.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country meanwhile will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may result.

Coastal waters will be moderate to rough in Northern Luzon, and slight to moderate in the rest of the country.

Sunrise was at 5:47 a.m. while sunset will be at 5:40 p.m. —KG, GMA News
