PAGASA warned the public against flash floods and landslides that may possibly occur in the affected areas due to the expected rainfall.

Meanwhile, the weather bureau said the ridge of the high-pressure area is extending over Northern Luzon.

Moderate winds and moderate coastal water conditions will prevail in Northern Luzon while the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate waters.

The sun will rise over Metro Manila at 5:49 a.m. on Thursday. —Sundy Locus/VAL, GMA Integrated News
