Pagasa spots new LPA
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) yesterday monitored a low-pressure area that may develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
At 3 p.m. yesterday, the low-pressure area was estimated at the vicinity of Malaybalay, Bukidnon and will bring cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rains and thunderstorms over the regions of Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga peninsula, Eastern and Central Visayas and Lanao del Sur.
Residents in those areas are alerted for possible flashfloods and landslides. The Bicol region and the rest of the Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the weather disturbance while the Ilocos, Cordillera and Cagayan regions will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon, PAGASA added.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and the Visayas will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers because of localized thunderstorms.
“Should the low-pressure area develop into a tropical depression, maritime operations along the Bohol Sea including the seaboards of Surigao provinces, Southern Leyte, southern Negros Oriental and Zamboanga del Norte will be disrupted,” PAGASA noted.
