A low-pressure area over Palawan is expected to bring rains over the Visayas and parts of Southern Luzon and Mindanao on Friday, according to PAGASA.
Weather specialist Leanne Loreto said the LPA was located over the coastal waters of Dumaran, Palawan and was moving westward.
PAGASA said the weather disturbance is expected to dissipate within the next 24 hours as it moves over the West Philippine Sea.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are forecast over the Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Mimaropa, Batangas, Quezon and the Bicol Region due to the LPA.
Residents in affected areas are advised to watch for possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to at times heavy rains.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather, although isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon or evening due to localized thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the country.
PAGASA is also monitoring Severe Tropical Storm Dujuan outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
As of 3 a.m., Dujuan was located about 2,460 kilometers east of Extreme Northern Luzon, packing maximum sustained winds of 110 kilometers per hour near the center and gusts of up to 135 kph. It was moving northwestward at 55 kph.
Loreto said Dujuan is not expected to enter the PAR and is unlikely to directly affect any part of the country.
