A low-pressure area (LPA) is forecast to bring rain in the southern portion of Luzon on Thursday evening, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
The LPA was located 315 kilometers west of Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, at 3 p.m., Pagasa recorded.
Pagasa warned that the LPA will cause ‘cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms’ in Metro Manila, Mimaropa, Calabarzon, and Bicol Region. Meanwhile, the southwesterly windflow will carry the same weather conditions to Visayas and Mindanao, while the northeasterly windflow will bring isolated light rains to Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, Pagasa added.
On the other hand, Tropical Storm Quedan (international name: Nakri) will still not affect the Philippines and its current weather conditions until it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
According to Pagasa, Quedan remains at the edge of the PAR, at around 1,370 kilometers east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon, moving north-northwestward at 30 kilometers per hour (kph).

It has maximum sustained winds of 75 kph, and gusts of up to 90 kph. Quedan is expected to be out of the PAR by early Friday morning, based on Pagasa’s forecast.
