The LPA outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has an unlikely chance of development into a Tropical Depression within the next 24 hours.

Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies with flash floods or landslides possibly occurring due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms also due to the easterlies with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur during severe thunderstorms.

The wind speed forecast for extreme Northern Luzon is light to moderate moving in the northwest to southwest while coastal waters will be slight to moderate.

The rest of Luzon will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the southeast to southwest with slight to moderate coastal waters.

The rest of the country will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the east to southeast direction while coastal waters will be slight to moderate.
