LPA unlikely to affect PH despite developing into tropical depression

A low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) had a high chance of developing into a tropical depression within 24 hours as of Tuesday afternoon.

However, the LPA was already set to exit the PAR, with its development into a tropical depression possibly occurring before or after its exit.

Regardless of its development, the potential tropical cyclone is not expected to affect any part of the Philippines.

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will continue to affect the western section of Southern Luzon, including Bataan, Zambales, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro, with moderate to at times heavy rains that may cause flash floods or landslides.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

Winds will be light to moderate, and coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.
