Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao to have scattered rains due to LPA trough

The trough or extension of a low pressure area (LPA) located east of Mindanao will bring scattered rain showers over Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region on Sunday, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

These areas will also have cloudy skies and thunderstorms. Flash floods or landslides may result during times of moderate to heavy rains.

Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon meanwhile will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan).

The rest of the country meanwhile will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms. Flash floods or landslides may result following severe thunderstorms.

At 3 a.m. Sunday, the LPA was located at 965 km east of Mindanao.

"'Yung binabantayang LPA ay nakapasok na ng PAR kaninang 2:00 am... Maliit ang tiyansa na maging bagyo ito susunod na isa o 2 araw...Kung sakaling maging bagyo ang LPA na binabantayan, papangalanan itong Agaton," PAGASA weather forecaster Rob Guile said on Super Radyo dzBB.

(The LPA being monitored entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility at 2 a.m. The chances of it becoming a tropical depression in the next one or two days are low. But if this will become a tropical depression, it will be named Agaton.)

Coastal waters will be moderate to rough in the seaboards in the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Waves may reach up to 3.1 meters.

In Northern and Central Luzon seaboards, coastal waters will be moderate, then slight to moderate elsewhere in the country.

Sunrise will be at 6:25 a.m. while sunset will be at 5:51 p.m. —KG, GMA News
