LPA to bring rains to parts of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao

Tropical Storm 'Sepat' is moving north-northwestward and remains outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

A low-pressure area (LPA), located 185 kilometers west of Subic Bay at 3 p.m. Monday, has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone.

Despite its low development potential, the LPA will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to Pangasinan, Zambales, and Bataan.

The southwest monsoon will also cause similar conditions, including moderate to heavy rains, across Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Negros Occidental, and the rest of Central Luzon.

These rains could potentially lead to flash floods or landslides in the affected areas.

The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers due to the southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorms.

Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected across the archipelago.
