LPA over northern Philippine Sea likely to develop into tropical depression
A low-pressure area (LPA) east of Batanes has a high chance of developing into a tropical cyclone named Igme within the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Located 590 kilometers east of Itbayat, Batanes, the LPA is moving northwest at 40 kilometers per hour.
While it has a low chance of landfall, the potential tropical depression may bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to Batanes and Babuyan Islands from Saturday to Sunday.
The LPA's influence is enhancing the southwest monsoon, which is bringing occasional to frequent rains to the Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.
The weather disturbance may move away from the country by Monday, potentially weakening its influence on the southwest monsoon.
