First LPA exits PAR, second LPA develops into tropical depression outside PAR
A low pressure area (LPA) east of the Philippines has developed into a tropical depression as of Tuesday, Sept. 10.
This new tropical depression is located 2,230 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas with maximum sustained winds of 45 kph and gusts of up to 55 kph.
It is moving northwestward and is still outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), but is expected to enter either on Thursday, September 12, or Friday, September 13, and will be named 'Ferdie'.
Even before entering PAR, its trough will affect the eastern part of Mindanao, specifically Caraga and the Davao Region, bringing scattered rain and thunderstorms.
PAGASA forecasts that the tropical depression may gradually enhance the southwest monsoon (habagat), bringing widespread rains across Southern Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao.
The habagat is expected to continue until the following week as the tropical depression traverses waters east of the country.
Moderate to at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms may cause flash floods or landslides.
