By MANILA, Philippines – A low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) is expected to bring rain showers to most parts of Visayas and Mindanao, while a tropical depression (TD) outside PAR may enter the country’s monitoring area this weekend, the state weather bureau said Wednesday.
In its latest bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was last spotted 670 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.
“The likelihood of it developing into a tropical cyclone is low, but as a low-pressure area, we expect it to bring rains, especially over parts of the Visayas and Mindanao,” weather specialist Chenel Dominguez, speaking Filipino, said in Pagasa’s latest briefing.
