Tropical Depression ObetPH continues to move in the west southwest direction over the Philippine Sea, according to the Tropical Cyclone Update posted by PAGASA early Thursday morning.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and the northern portion of Quezon including Polillo Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms brought about by the shearline, PAGASA said. SCREENSHOT
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms with possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms. "Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall," the weather bureau said.
The combined effects of the surge of northeasterly surface wind flow and the approaching tropical cyclone may also bring moderate to rough seas over the seaboards of Central Luzon and the western and eastern seaboards of Southern Luzon that could be risky for small vessels.
