Pagasa: SLPA may bring floods, slides in RP


MANILA, Philippines — A shallow low-pressure area (SLPA) off southern Luzon will bring rains over Visayas, Mindanao and Palawan, state weather forecasters said Tuesday. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Tuesday said the SLPA was estimated to be 180 kilometers west northwest of Puerto Princesa City in Palawan as of 2 p.m. It said the SLPA was embedded along the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) affecting Visayas and Mindanao. "Luzon, Visayas and eastern Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming widespread rains over central, northern and western section of southern Luzon and Western Visayas which may trigger flashfloods and landslide," its 5 p.m. bulletin said. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to at times cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening, it added. Moderate to occasionally strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over extreme northern Luzon and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to occasionally rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from southwest and southeast will prevail with slight to moderate seas. - Aie Balagtas See, GMANews.TV
