Warm winds with scattered rains to prevail over PH

MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecast the easterlies to affect the country until Friday afternoon, raising the possibility of cloudy skies with some rains.

Slight to moderate coastal waters will also prevail over northern and central Luzon pushed by light to moderate winds.
