There remains a slim chance of a tropical cyclone developing inside the country's area of responsibility in the coming week, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration's (PAGASA) weekly weather outlook issued on Friday, Feb. 18.

PAGASA said the easterlies or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean will bring cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms over Caraga, Davao Region, and Soccsksargen on Saturday, Feb. 19

Cagayan Valley may also have cloudy skies with light rains while the rest of northern Luzon may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon or "amihan."

PAGASA said Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have generally fair weather conditions apart from some isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

By Sunday, Feb. 20, the formation of a shear line or frontal system over the eastern section of Southern Luzon and of Visayas will bring cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms over Bicol region, Northern Samar, Samar, and Eastern Samar.

Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with light rains due to the amihan while Metro Manila and the rest of northern and Central Luzon and Calabarzon will have generally fair weather conditions apart from isolated light rains.

Caraga and Davao region will be cloudy with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies while the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

By Monday until Wednesday, Feb. 21-23, PAGASA said the amihan will bring cloudy skies and light rains over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol region.

Eastern Visayas will be cloudy with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line(frontal system) while the rest of Luzon and Visayas will have generally fair weather conditions apart from isolated light rains.

Mindanao will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Throughout the rest of the outlook period, from Feb. 24 to 25, PAGASA said that Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao region will be cloudy with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms as the shear line oscillates over the eastern section of Visayas and Mindanao.

Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol region will continue to experience cloudy skies and light rains due to the amihan while the rest of Luzon and of Visayas will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated light rains.

The rest of Mindanao will have generally fair weather apart from some isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

"No tropical cyclone development is expected. this outlook will be updated if significant changes in the weather scenario occur," PAGASA said.
