The low pressure area (LPA) east of Mindanao may continue to bring rains over most of Visayas and Mindanao in the next 24 hours.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 8, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) estimated the location of the LPA at 335 kilometers east of General Santos City, South Cotabato.
PAGASA said the weather disturbance is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression but may bring moderate to heavy rains over Biliran, Leyte, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Davao de Oro.
Light to moderate with at times heavy rains may also affect Albay, Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, Masbate, Bukidnon, Camiguin, Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Davao Occidental, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, and the rest of Visayas.
Flooding, including flash floods, and rain-induced landslides may occur during heavy or prolonged periods of rainfall, especially in areas that are highly susceptible to these hazards, PAGASA warned.
Likewise, it said adjacent or nearby areas that may not have been directly affected by the rainfall were urged to remain alert due to the possibility of flooding from surface runoff or swelling of river channels.
PAGASA said the LPA may dissipate within 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon or "amihan" may bring light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province.
Isolated light amihan rains may also affect Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Bataan, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, and Aurora.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have "fair" weather due to partly cloudy to cloudy skies and isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned the public against severe thunderstorms that could trigger flash floods in low-lying areas or landslides in mountainous communities.
