The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration does not see the formation of a low-pressure area or tropical cyclone that may affect the country in the next two to three days.

This weekend, the surge of the northeast monsoon or “amihan” will be the prevailing weather system across most of the country.

PAGASA weather specialist Meno Mendoza said cloudy skies with isolated light to moderate amihan rains are likely over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Aurora, and Quezon.

He warned of possible flash floods and landslides that may occur in low-lying and mountainous areas.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, except Palawan, may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains due to the amihan.

There is also a potential for reduced visibility during ash fall over municipalities southwest or west of Taal Volcano, PAGASA said.
