(UPDATE) This weekend will be rainy one due to Tropical Depression Fabian, which will likely enhance the southwest monsoon or habagat, weather bureau PAGASA said Friday.
Fabian, the sixth storm of the year, intensified from a low pressure area at 11 a.m., PAGASA said. It was last seen east of northern Luzon.
It is unlikely to hit land, weather forecaster Shelly Ignacio said in an early Friday briefing.
Another low pressure area, last seen at 240 km northwest of Laoag City at 3 a.m., was also monitored outside PAR, PAGASA said.
Residents in MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Zambales, and Bataan could experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the habagat, PAGASA said, as it warned of possible flash floods and landslides.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms, said PAGASA.
