PAGASA monitors 2 LPAs, warns of rains in parts of Luzon, Visayas

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring two low pressure areas (LPAs), one inside and one outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

The LPA within PAR is located 460 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora, and has a low probability of becoming a tropical cyclone within 24 hours.

The second LPA is situated 2,160 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas, outside the PAR, with a moderate chance of developing into a cyclone.

If the LPA inside PAR intensifies, PAGASA will raise wind signals in Cagayan and eastern Northern Luzon.

This LPA's trough may bring moderate to heavy rains to Cagayan and Isabela in the coming days.

The southwest monsoon (habagat) will continue to bring heavy rains to the northern portion of Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Aklan, and Antique.

A gale warning remains hoisted for areas where waves could reach as high as 3.7 to 4.5 meters.
