By MANILA, Philippines — The low-pressure area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a “moderate” chance of developing into a typhoon within 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Friday.
In its 5 a.m. public forecast, Pagasa Weather Specialist Benison Estareja said the LPA was last located 945 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.
“Yesterday, the chance of this becoming a full-fledged typhoon was low; today, however, the chance has increased to moderate, meaning there is a moderate possibility it will develop into a typhoon within 24 hours,” Estareja said.
