A new low-pressure area (LPA) has entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), the state weather bureau said Tuesday night.
According to the 10 p.m. update from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the LPA entered the PAR around 8 p.m. Tuesday. It was last located 1,095 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon.
Pagasa said the LPA still has a ‘medium’ potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the weather bureau earlier reported that the easterlies-warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean-are expected to continue bringing scattered rains to Metro Manila and other parts of the country.
