MANILA, Philippines —The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Wednesday that it is closely monitoring two low pressure areas (LPAs) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
2 LPAs monitored inside PAR, bringing rain to Luzon
Pagasa administrator Nathaniel Servando said that one of the LPAs was spotted some 190 kilometers west of Dagupan, Pangasinan while the other was over the coastal waters of Jomalig town in Quezon.
Without indicating which of the two, Servando said one of the LPAs has a slim chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
“But the other one has a medium potential of becoming a tropical depression within the next 24 hours,” the Pagasa chief said.
Once it turns into a tropical depression, it would have its local name ‘Jacinto,’ the third cyclone to be hitting the Philippines this month, and the 10th this year, the state-run weather agency said.
Pagasa said the LPA has already been affecting Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, and CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon)., This news data comes from:http://052298.com
Meanwhile, southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, has been bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Visayas, MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Bicol Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Northern Mindanao.
Partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms would prevail over the rest of Mindanao due to habagat, the national weather bureau said.
