LPA may become tropical depression within 24 hours

A low-pressure area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within 24 hours.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the LPA was last seen 430 kilometers East Northeast of Infanta, Quezon, or 350 kilometers East of Casiguran, Aurora.

This LPA is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Cagayan Valley.

Another LPA, located 2,275 kilometers East of Borongan, Batanes, has a high potential to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

The Southwest Monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas.

Mindanao and the rest of Visayas may expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms.

Possible flash floods or landslides may occur in some areas due to these weather conditions.

PAGASA previously reported that 2 to 3 tropical cyclones may be expected within the PAR for the month of July.
