A low pressure area (LPA) lurking northwest of Zamboanga del Norte is set to drench parts of the Visayas and neighboring regions this Sunday. PAGASA warns residents to brace for rains and thunderstorms that could unleash flash floods and landslides.
Visayas, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Batangas, and Quezon will see cloudy skies peppered with scattered showers. The rains may intensify at times, raising the risk of hazardous conditions on the ground.
As of 3 a.m., the LPA was positioned about 310 kilometers northwest of Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, or 55 kilometers south-southeast of Cuyo, Palawan. This system steadily influences the weather, while easterly winds affect other parts of the country.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and most other areas will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. These sporadic storms carry their own dangers, including possible flash floods and landslides.
Coastal waters across the Philippines remain slight to moderate, posing no immediate concern for seafarers.
Filipinos should stay alert and keep monitoring updates as weather conditions evolve. The daybreak came early at 5:32 a.m., with sunset expected at 6:14 p.m., signaling a full day under watchful skies.
