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

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

Masbate, Sorsogon, Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and the Davao Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line and the trough of the LPA. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly lead to flash floods or landslides.

At 3 a.m., the LPA was estimated to be located at 465 km east of Surigao City, Surigao del Sur.

Cagayan Valley, the rest of Bicol Region and Apayao may expect cloudy skies with light rains due to the Northern Monsoon affecting Luzon.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

Meanwhile, the rest of Mindanao may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may possibly result.

Coastal waters will be rough in Luzon and the eastern section of Visayas, and slight to moderate in the rest of the country.
