Cloudy skies, scattered rain showers and thunderstorms is expected over parts of the country on Thursday, this is due to the Low Pressure Area (LPA) [formerly "QUERUBIN"], shear line, and amihan according to the state weather bureau.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was last spotted some 245 kilometers east of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte.
“Since its circulation is noticeably improving and it remains over warm waters, there is a big chance that this low-pressure area could develop into a weak storm or tropical depression within the next 24 hours,” PAGASA reported.
Querubin weakened into an LPA on Wednesday afternoon, and will once again be named “Querubin” should it reintensify into a tropical depression.
For the meantime, the Shear Line will be affecting the eastern section of Southern Luzon while the Northeast Monsoon (amihan) will affect the rest of Luzon. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon but this will have no significant impact.
Meanwhile, the trough or extension of the LPA is forecast to affect the rest of Visayas and Mindanao.
Eastern Visayas and Caraga will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to heavy with at times intense rains.
The rest of Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough of the LPA with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to heavy with at times intense rains.
Bicol Region and Quezon will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Shear Line with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to heavy rains.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon will have cloudy skies with light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon but this will have no significant impact.
