WEATHER UPDATE — According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the Low-Pressure Area (LPA) being monitored has been spotted 140 km east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. The LPA will remain stationary before moving northwards over the weekend.
The weather agency reports the LPA has a wide circulation, bringing rain to Southern Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao.
Today, the LPA is almost stationary over southern Mindanao. However, due to its broad circulation, it will move somewhere between Visayas and Mindanao on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, it will move further north, between the Bicol Region and Visayas.
On Monday, the LPA may disperse due to the Northeast Monsoon.
Meanwhile, the shear line continues to strengthen the rains brought by the LPA, especially in Eastern Visayas and the Bicol Region. It will continue until Monday or when the LPA disperses.
The Northeast Monsoon, or Amihan, also continues to bring light rains over central Luzon and isolated rain showers over the rest of Luzon.

For today’s weather forecast, areas in the Bicol Region, specially Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, Catanduanes, and Romblon, will experience moderate to, at times, heavy rains due to the LPA.

The rest of Luzon, such as Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Calabarzon, and Metro Manila, is forecast to have cloudy skies due to the Northeast Monsoon. Areas in central Luzon, including Ilocos and CAR, may expect the same weather conditions as yesterday, with light isolated rainshowers.
