PAGASA monitors 2 LPAs, warns of scattered rains, flash floods

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring two low pressure areas (LPA) within the Philippine area of responsibility ahead of election day.

One LPA is located over coastal waters near Kalibo, Aklan, while another is 425 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales.

Both systems are unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours and will cause scattered rains and thunderstorms in Visayas, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, Quezon, Caraga, and Metro Manila.

PAGASA warns that moderate to heavy rainfall could result in flash floods or landslides in affected areas.

The easterlies will bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over the rest of the country while light to moderate winds and slight to moderate coastal waters are expected across the archipelago.
