New LPA forms east of Mindanao, may enter PAR

A new low-pressure area (LPA) has formed east of Mindanao, outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), according to PAGASA.

The LPA was detected early Sunday morning, November 3, originating from cloud clusters observed over the weekend.

As of 4 a.m., the weather disturbance is located 1,605 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao and has a low chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.

While the LPA currently has no direct impact on the Philippines, PAGASA is closely monitoring its potential entry into the PAR within the next 24 to 48 hours.

The dominant weather systems expected across the country in the next 24 hours include the northeasterly wind flow, easterlies, and localized thunderstorms.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are anticipated over Batanes and Babuyan Islands due to the northeasterly wind flow, which signals the beginning of the 'amihan' season.
