MANILA – A low pressure area (LPA) seen east of Mindanao is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Friday, the state meteorological office said.
The brewing storm was last detected 1,145 kilometers east of Mindanao at 3 a.m., according to meteorologist Loriedin Dela Cruz.
The LPA is likely to become a tropical cyclone and could become the country’s 17th storm this year, he added.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Pepito, which left the country on Thursday, was last seen 520 kilometers west of northern Luzon.
The depression or extent of the typhoon will still bring cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro and Palawan.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated showers due to localized thunderstorms.
