LPA inside PAR has 'high' chance to develop into tropical depression

The Low Pressure Area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has a "high" potential to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, PAGASA said on Wednesday.

"Due to the LPA's close proximity to the landmass, hoisting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1 is possible along the eastern sections of Northern and Central Luzon as soon as it develops into a Tropical Depression," it added.

Meanwhile, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Nueva Ecija will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA.

Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and the rest of Central Luzon will also experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms as a result of the Southwest Monsoon.

The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms due to the Southwest Monsoon.

Sunrise is at 5:31 a.m. and sunset is at 6:29 p.m. —LDF/KG, GMA Integrated News
