The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Saturday, September 13, said it is closely monitoring a Low Pressure Area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) that may bring heavy rains over parts of Luzon and Visayas this weekend.
As of 8 a.m., the weather bureau said the LPA has a “low” chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. At 3 a.m., the system was estimated to be 140 km east of Borongan City, Eastern Samar.

PAGASA also noted that easterlies are affecting Luzon.
Forecast weather conditions
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA, with possible flash floods and landslides, are expected in Metro Manila, Visayas, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, the Mindoro provinces, Marinduque, Romblon, and Zamboanga del Norte.
Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms caused by easterlies. Severe thunderstorms may also trigger floods and landslides, the bureau warned.
Localized thunderstorms may bring isolated rainshowers with risks of floods and landslides in other parts of Mindanao, according to PAGASA.
Rainfall warning
In its Weather Advisory No. 1 issued at 5 a.m., PAGASA warned of heavy rainfall between 50–100 mm in the following areas: Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, and Northern Samar (Sept. 13), as well as Quezon and Camarines Norte (Sept. 14).
PAGASA cautioned that rainfall could be higher in mountainous and elevated areas, and impacts may worsen in regions already saturated by previous rains.
