Two LPAs bring rain to much of the Philippines

Two low-pressure areas (LPA) are within the Philippine Area of Responsibility and are expected to bring rainfall across most parts of the country on Friday.

As of 3 p.m., one LPA was located 365 kilometers west of Tanauan City, Batangas, while another was 865 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.

The Southwest Monsoon will cause cloudy conditions with scattered rain and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, and Sarangani.

The rest of the Visayas and Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain-showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

Flash floods or landslides may occur due to these weather conditions, while moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters are expected in the western section of Luzon.
