Shear line, LPA to bring scattered rains over Visayas, Mindanao

The shear line and the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA) are expected to bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the Visayas, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and Davao Region.

The LPA was last observed 505 kilometers east of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte, with only a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone.

Heavy rain is being dumped, especially in parts of the Visayas, with Eastern Visayas and parts of Central Visayas experiencing the heaviest rainfall so far.

Flash floods and landslides are possible during periods of moderate to heavy rain.

The northeast monsoon will affect the rest of Luzon, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, but PAGASA stated there will be no significant impact.

The rest of Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized weather patterns.

Strong winds and rough seas are anticipated in Luzon and the eastern portions of the Visayas and Mindanao.
