A LOW-pressure area (LPA) sighted over Surigao del Sur is expected to bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the rest of Mindanao and parts of Visayas.

In its 4 pm weather report today, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA has been sighted at 185 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.

Pagasa said the LPA is embedded along an the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) affecting southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The weather agency said flash floods or landslides could occur during severe thunderstorms.

“Wind speeds could be light to moderate,” Pagasa said.

Pagasa said the LPA is moving in towards the west Northwestward direction and could likely develop into a tropical depression in 48 hours.
