A low-pressure area brewing near Mindanao is expected to enter the country last night or this morning, the State weather bureau said yesterday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said the LPA was spotted 1,680 kilometers southeast of Mindanao yesterday morning.
PAGASA weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said the LPA is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility last night or this morning.
Aurelio added that the weather disturbance has a slim chance of becoming a tropical depression but will bring rains with thunderstorms in Mindanao beginning today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon or “amihan” still affects extreme Northern Luzon, bringing cloudy skies with light rains over Batanes and Babuyan Group of Islands.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the easterlies, or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. (Alexandria San Juan)
