The state weather bureau is monitoring two low-pressure areas (LPA), one of which is inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
As of 8 a.m. Tuesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA outside PAR, designated as 10e, has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within 24 hours, although it may become one in the coming days.
LPA 10e was located 1,780 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao.
Another LPA, identified as 10f, is located inside PAR but is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression within 24 hours. It was located over the coastal waters of Vinzons, Camarines Norte.
Meanwhile, Pagasa’s prior forecast said that easterlies – the hot and humid wind coming from the Pacific Ocean – and localized thunderstorms might bring cloudy skies and scattered rains across the Philippines.
Pagasa encourages the public to continue monitoring updates for further developments. /apl/abc
