PAGASA earlier said that the LPA has a “low” chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, but advised the public to continue monitoring updates.

The northeast monsoon also continues to affect Northern Luzon and Central Luzon.

On Monday, moderate to heavy rain is expected in the region of Bicol, as well as the province of Northern Samar. Those areas should be on alert for possible floods and landslides.

There will also be light to moderate rain in the rest of the Visayas, plus the provinces of Marinduque and Romblon.

Light rain, meanwhile, will be experienced in the rest of Luzon.
