PAGASA warns of scattered rains, thunderstorms, flash flood risks in parts of PH

Three weather systems will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over parts of the Philippines on Friday, according to PAGASA.

A Low Pressure Area (LPA) located near Mahinog in Camiguin is affecting the eastern section of Southern Luzon, while the Shear Line influences Bicol Region, Quezon, and MIMAROPA, with a high chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours.

Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA, posing risks for flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rains.

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora will have cloudy skies with rain from the Northeast Monsoon (amihan), also presenting a risk of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall.

Metro Manila and most of Luzon will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon, with no significant impact expected.

Northern and western sections of Northern Luzon will experience strong winds moving northeastward while coastal waters will be rough; Visayas and the rest of Luzon will have moderate to strong winds moving east to northeast with moderate to rough seas.
