ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY, ISOLATED RAINSHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL LIKELY.

FROM SUNDAY UNTIL TUESDAY (27-29 APRIL), A POSSIBLE LOW PRESSURE AREA (LPA) MAY DEVELOP OUTSIDE THE PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (PAR), SOUTHEAST OF MINDANAO. THE LPA IS EXPECTED TO ENTER THE PAR BY TUESDAY AND IS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE ITCZ, BRINGING SCATTERED RAINSHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE VISAYAS AND MINDANAO. ELSEWHERE, ISOLATED RAINSHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN LIKELY.

FROM WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY (30 APRIL - 02 MAY), THE LPA IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN A NORTHWESTWARD DIRECTION, TRAVERSING CARAGA, CENTRAL VISAYAS, NEGROS ISLAND REGION, SULU SEA, AND UP TO PALAWAN. THIS WEATHER DISTURBANCE, STILL EMBEDDED WITHIN THE ITCZ, WILL BRING SCATTERED RAINS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER VISAYAS AND MINDANAO. MEANWHILE, LUZON WILL EXPERIENCE GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER, APART FROM ISOLATED RAINSHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS.
