LPA trough to bring rains to Visayas, Mindanao; may intensify into cyclone

The trough of a low pressure area (LPA) is expected to bring cloudy skies and scattered rains with thunderstorms to parts of the Visayas and Mindanao on Friday.

Specifically, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Oriental will experience these conditions due to the LPA's trough.

The LPA itself was located 540 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.

Pagasa weather specialist Loriedin de la Cruz-Galicia stated that the LPA has a low chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.

However, there is a possibility that it will intensify and increase its chance to become a tropical depression beyond the 24-hour period.

Two possible scenarios exist: the LPA may cross landmass as is, particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao, or it could develop into a tropical cyclone before making landfall.
