MANILA – Three weather systems, including a trough of low pressure area (LPA), will continue to bring isolated rains across the country on Sunday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
In its 4 a.m. advisory, the weather bureau said the LPA, located 560 kilometers east of General Santos City within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), is not expected to develop into a tropical depression but will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms in Mindanao, Palawan, Eastern Samar, and Southern Leyte.
The PAGASA said another LPA, spotted 2,195 kms east of Southern Mindanao, is being monitored outside the PAR and has a "low" chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
Easterlies will continue to affect Luzon and the Visayas, bringing isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly in the Bicol Region and Quezon, and in parts of the Visayas.
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.
