This LPA was last tracked at 15 km. northeast of Davao City or in the vicinity of Laak, Davao de Oro. "It has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours but we still consider the possibility that it may develop into one," Grace Castaneda of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). PAGASA forecast the LPA to cause scattered to widespread rain showers and thunderstorms over Palawan and Mindanao and scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Visayas. "The LPA will continue to bring rains over (these areas) and the public is advised to take precautions and be alert against possible flooding and landslides," Castaneda said. Meanwhile, the northeasterly surface wind flow will cause rains over Cagayan Valley, central Luzon,
MANILA - Most parts of the country will experience rains due to the shear line affecting the eastern part of Mindanao, and the northeast monsoon affecting Luzon and the Visayas. The weather bureau, in its 4 a.m. weather forecast on Thursday, said scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region. For the rest of Mindanao, isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms are likely. Flash floods or landslides are possible during moderate to heavy rains, and during severe thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. The northeast monsoon will cause light rains over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines provinces, and Catanduanes. Likewise, it will bring isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and the Visayas. Meanwhile, Sam Duran of PAGASA said there is no weather disturbance inside the Philippine Area of Re

The shear line will cause scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Bicol Region, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Eastern, and Central Visayas. Northeast monsoon, on the other hand, will bring light rains over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Aurora, and Quezon. It will cause isolated light rains over Metro Manila, Western Visayas, and the rest of Luzon, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in its 4 a.m. weather bulletin. The rest of Mindanao will have isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms. In an advisory issued at 11 p.m. Thursday, PAGASA said shear lines cause light to moderate, with at times heavy rains over the Bicol region, Eastern Vi
(File photo) MANILA - Most areas in the country will experience rain showers caused by three weather systems, the weather bureau said on Tuesday. In its 4 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said a low pressure area (LPA) was last spotted 1,055 kilometers east of Mindanao. PAGASA weather forecaster Grace Castaneda said this LPA has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within 36 hours. "However, we are expecting that the combined effects of shear line and LPA will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms over some parts of the Visayas and Mindanao," she said. These areas are Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and the Davao Region. Flash floods or landslides are possible during moderate to at times heavy rains. The northeast monsoon will cause light rains over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and the northern portion of Quezon, including the Polillo Islands. Likewise, i
