A low-pressure area (LPA) being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, prompting the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) to advise the public to remain alert for possible heavy rains, flooding, and landslides.
As of 3:00 p.m. Monday, the weather disturbance was estimated at approximately 165 kilometers east-northeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar. PAGASA said the LPA continues to move over the Philippine Sea while bringing widespread rain across several parts of the country.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected over Metro Manila, the Visayas, CALABARZON, the Bicol Region, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon due to the LPA. PAGASA warned that moderate to heavy rainfall could trigger flash floods and rain-induced landslides, particularly in flood- and landslide-prone areas.
Meanwhile, Palawan will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon, locally known as Habagat, which continues to affect the western section of Southern Luzon.
The rest of the country can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms. PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms may also result in localized flooding and landslides.
Under PAGASA's Heavy Rainfall Outlook, 50 to 100 millimeters of rain may fall over Sorsogon, Albay, Masbate, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, and Romblon through Tuesday, with additional heavy rainfall expected in parts of MIMAROPA through the middle of the week.
Sea conditions are expected to remain moderate along the eastern sections of Southern Luzon and the Visayas, with wave heights ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 meters, while the rest of the country will generally experience slight to moderate seas.
PAGASA urged residents, particularly those living in flood- and landslide-prone communities, to closely monitor the agency's latest weather bulletins and follow the guidance of local disaster risk reduction and management officials.
The public is also encouraged to prepare for possible changes in weather conditions as PAGASA continues to monitor the LPA for possible development into the country's next tropical depression.
