PAGASA monitors LPA in Mindanao

The two Low Pressure Areas within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) have dissipated yesterday, but there are still thick clouds in the central and southern Luzon due to the Frontal System or the area where warm and cold air meet, according to Weather Specialist Ariel Rojas of PAGASA.

The other Low Pressure Area that is being monitored by the weather bureau is outside the PAR or 990 kilometers east of Mindanao.

This LPA is expected to enter the PAR on Thursday but there is a small chance that it would develop into a typhoon and may dissipate as it nears Mindanao.

With the effects of the Frontal System, the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Bicol Region will have cloudy skies and scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms.

Metro Manila, northern Luzon, Ilocos Region, Cordillera, and the rest of Cagayan Valley will fair weather but will have cloudy skies and isolated rainshowers due to thunderstorms.

Palawan will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the frontal system.

In the Visayas and Mindanao will have fair weather. In the afternoon, there may be isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms.— BAP, GMA News
