LPA outside PAR has low chance of intensifying into storm —PAGASA

The low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a low chance of intensifying into a storm, PAGASA said Thursday.

In a daily video update, weather specialist Loriedin De La Cruz said the LPA was last estimated at 1,145 kilometers east of Mindanao.

It may enter PAR within the next 24 hours, according to the weather bureau.

Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers are expected over Metro Manila and the rest of the country due to easterlies, the ridge of a high-pressure area, and localized thunderstorms.

According to PAGASA, this has no significant impact on the country.
