Shear line, amihan to bring cloudy skies, rains over N. Luzon

The shear line will be affecting the eastern section of Northern Luzon while the northeast monsoon (amihan) will affect Extreme Northern Luzon on Thursday, PAGASA reported.

Batanes will have cloudy skies with light rains due to the northeast monsoon, but this will not have a significant impact on the province.

The Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, and the rest of Cagayan Valley will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur during severe thunderstorms.

The wind speed forecast for northern Luzon is moderate to strong moving northeastward while coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

The rest of the country will have light to moderate wind speed moving in the northeast to north direction while coastal waters will be slight to moderate.
