THE Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) is closely monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) that may enter the country in 36 hours and escalate into a tropical depression.
Weather specialist Benison Estareja told The Manila Times that the LPA was last spotted 1,460 kilometers east of Mindanao.
Once it enters the country, the LPA will be named Paeng.
"Based on Pagasa's forecast track, this may approach the landmass and make landfall somewhere in Luzon or Eastern Visayas by Thursday," Estareja said.
The weather agency said the inter-tropical convergence zone is affecting Mindanao where cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may prevail.
Meanwhile, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and Cordillera Administrative Region will likely have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
