«Despite the low chance of turning into a tropical depression, its trough or the extension of LPA may bring cloudy skies and rain showers over most parts of Mindanao and in the Eastern and Central Visayas,» Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said.

Moreover, while the southwest monsoon or habagat continues to weaken, it is still bringing rains and thunderstorms in areas of Palawan and Occidental Mindoro, Pagasa said.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon may expect fair weather over the next 24 hours, along with chances of isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms, especially by afternoon and at night.
