Weather: LPA may bring floods, landslides to Palawan

A low-pressure area northeast of Dipolog City in Mindanao may bring flash floods and landslides to Palawan, state weather forecasters said Sunday. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the LPA was estimated at 90 km northeast of Dipolog City as of 8 a.m. In its 10:30 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the LPA is embedded along Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). "This weather system is expected to bring scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over the Western section of Southern Luzon and of Visayas and the whole of Mindanao becoming widespread rains over Palawan which may trigger flashfloods and landslides," it said. Earlier, PAGASA had said the weather on Sunday would be relatively fine and even warm, though there may be isolated rains in the afternoon. — KBK, GMA News
