Rains, cloudy skies possible over parts of Luzon due to LPA

Most parts of Luzon will experience cloudy skies, rains, and thunderstorms because of the low pressure area, PAGASA said in its Wednesday afternoon forecast.

At 3 p.m., the LPA was spotted 245 kilometers east northeast of Virac, Catanduanes, or 370 km east of Daet, Camarines Norte.

It has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours, along with the LPA located 2,865 km east of Northern Luzon as of 2 p.m.

However, the LPA in the east of Catanduanes is expected to affect the weather conditions in Cagayan Valley, CALABARZON, Aurora, and Marinduque, according to PAGASA’s 4 p.m. daily weather forecast.

The LPA will also bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Visayas, the Ilocos Region, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Central Luzon, the Bicol Region, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, and Romblon.

Meanwhile, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and CARAGA will see the same weather conditions due to the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will be observed over Palawan and the rest of Mindanao also due to the Habagat.

PAGASA warned the public of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains or severe thunderstorms.

Winds will be light to moderate, while coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:41 a.m. on Thursday. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/VBL, GMA Integrated News
