LPA trough, shear line, Amihan to cause rains over several areas

The trough of a low pressure area, shear line, and the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) will cause rains over several areas on Sunday, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

The Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region, Quezon, Marinduque, and Romblon will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line and trough of the LPA. Flash floods or landslides may result due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora will have cloudy skies with rains due to the Northeast Monsoon. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly lead to flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to at times cloudy skies with light rains due to the Amihan.

The rest of the country meanwhile may expect 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 the seaboards of Northern Luzon, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and the eastern section of Mindanao.

The seas meanwhile will be slight to moderate in the rest of Mindanao.
