PAGASA: LPA may reintensify, bring scattered rains in Visayas, Mindanao, Bicol

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that a low pressure area formerly named Tropical Depression Querubin may reintensify into a tropical depression within 24 hours, bringing scattered rains across parts of the country on Thursday.

Eastern Visayas and Caraga regions are expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA, increasing the risk of flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.

The rest of Visayas and Mindanao will also have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by the trough of the LPA, posing similar risks of flash floods or landslides.

In Bicol Region, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon, residents can expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the shear line, which may lead to moderate rainfall causing potential flooding or landslides.

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, Quezon, and parts of Metro Manila will experience cloudy skies with light rains due to the northeast monsoon, having no significant impact on daily activities.
