A low-pressure area (LPA) monitored near Palawan entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and is expected to bring rains over parts of the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Sunday.
In an early Sunday morning bulletin, PAGASA reported that the LPA was last located 330 kilometers west of Cuyo, Palawan as of 3:00 a.m.
Although it has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, it will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Western Visayas and the Mimaropa region.
Meanwhile, Caraga, Davao Region, Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, and Quezon province will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms attributed to the easterlies.
Cloudy skies with light rains are also expected over Batanes and Babuyan Islands, caused by the northeasterly windflow.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned that heavy rains or severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides in affected areas.
Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds from the northeast, resulting in moderate to rough coastal waters.
The rest of the country will have light to moderate winds blowing east to northeast, with slight to moderate coastal waters.
