The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms, PAGASA added.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail throughout Northern and Central Luzon, and the western section of Southern Luzon.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas.
Meanwhile, PAGASA has been monitoring a low-pressure (LPA) area outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
The LPA, located 590 km. west of Bacnotan, La Union as of 3 a.m., has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours, PAGASA said. (PNA)
