Cold front to bring rains over Luzon

The tail-end of a cold front is expected to bring moderate to occasionally heavy rains over most of parts of northern and central Luzon, the weather bureau said Sunday morning.

The Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Metro Manila and the provinces of Aurora and Rizal will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The rest of Luzon, as well as Visayas and Mindanao, will have fair weather with the possibility of brief periods of rain caused by localized thunderstorms.

A gale warning has been raised on the western seaboard of Luzon along with the western coast of Palawan due to rough coastal waters created by strong winds.

Meanwhile, PAGASA is closely monitoring a Low- Pressure Area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 1,385 kilometers east of Visayas.

The LPA currently does not have any effect on the weather of the country.
