Weather Today – February 13, 2015 | Rainy Friday for Eastern Luzon

The tail end of a cold front, a weather system formed when the cold air mass dominates the warm air mass, will affect the eastern section of Luzon today. Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Bicol Region, and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

At 2:00 AM today, the low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) was estimated at more than 2,000 kilometers east of Southern Mindanao. PAGASA Weather Forecaster Manny Mendoza said it is still far to affect any part of the country. However, it has a possibility to enter the boundary on Sunday, February 15. Changes may still occur so everyone is advised to monitor updates.

Meanwhile, according to Weather Forecaster Samuel Duran, the inflow of the northeast monsoon or amihan was slightly deflected due to the eastward movement of the high pressure area. It is expected to re-intensify this weekend bringing back colder nights and early mornings.

Below are the lowest temperatures recorded by the weather bureau this morning:
