MANILA — Vast swaths of Luzon could experience rains this weekend as 2 low pressure areas (LPAs) off Mindanao started to merge and move northwest, the state weather bureau said.

The 2 LPAs were some 1,000 kilometers east of Mindanao, as of Thursday morning. It will enter as one inside the Philippine area Friday before it heads toward the CARAGA and Eastern Visayas area.

The resulting weather system that will emerge from the consolidation of the two LPAs, which is not expected to become a storm, is then forecast to approach the Bicol Region on Saturday and reach eastern Luzon by Sunday, said PAGASA.

PAGASA said thunderstorms could hit parts of Mindanao, while the northeast monsoon or amihan is largely bringing light rains in the entire country.
