A low pressure area (LPA) and the prevailing southwest monsoon may cause thunderstorms in many areas of the country in the next 24 hours, raising the risk of flooding and landslides, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Friday.
The trough, or extension, of the LPA may cause thunderstorms over the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley, PAGASA said in its 4:00 p.m. weather forecast.
PAGASA warned of possible flooding and landslides due to moderate to occasionally heavy rains.
The LPA affecting these areas was last located 1,005 kilometers (km) west of Southwestern Luzon as of 2:00 p.m. and still has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
