The 3:00 a.m. general flood advisory from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) states that moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms are expected to occur due to the enhanced southwest monsoon because of a low pressure area east northeast of Aparri, Cagayan.
In Cavite, rivers and their tributaries are likely to be affected, including Laboc (Balsahan), Cañas, Ylang-Ylang, Imus, and Maragondon rivers.
