Flash floods, landslides likely as shear line, 'amihan' bring rains over parts of PH -- PAGASA

The shear line or tail-end of frontal system will prevail over Palawan and Visayas, while the northeast monsoon or "amihan" will affect the rest of Luzon in the next couple of hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Wednesday, Nov. 10.
Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may prevail over Palawan and Visayas due to the shear line, and over Caraga and Davao Region due to the warm easterly winds.
Cagayan Valley may also experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon.
PAGASA advised those in these areas to stay vigilant against possible flash floods or landslides due to the occurrence of moderate to at times heavy rains.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with isolated light monsoon rains.
The rest of Mindanao will also have generally fair weather conditions apart from isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA said severe thunderstorm activities may sometimes trigger flash floods or landslides.
Weather specialist Benison Estareja said PAGASA has not monitored a tropical cyclone that may develop or affect the country until the weekend.
However, he pointed out that there is a possibility that two or three tropical cyclones may enter the country's area of responsibility before the end of the month.
