Amihan, LPA trough, shear line to bring rains over parts of PH

The Northeast Monsoon (Amihan), trough of a low pressure area (LPA), and shear line will bring rain showers over parts of the country on Monday, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

The Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the trough or extension of the LPA and the shear line. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly result in flash floods or landslides.

At 3 a.m., the LPA was estimated to be located at 995 km east of Visayas.

Meanwhile, Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora will have cloudy skies with light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon affecting Northern and Central Luzon.

The Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Central Luzon, and the rest of Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains also due to the monsoon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country on the other hand will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may occur.

Coastal waters will be moderate to strong in Northern Luzon, and slight to moderate in the rest of the country.
