PAGASA: LPA 08e enters PAR, may develop into 'Isang'

PAGASA announced on Thursday that Low Pressure Area (LPA) 08e has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility near Quezon, located about 150 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora.

As of 4 a.m., LPA 08e now has a high potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours and being named 'Isang'.

The LPA is expected to move in a west-northwesterly direction, crossing Luzon beginning Thursday night or Friday.

Due to the LPA's trough, Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Laguna, Quezon, Rizal, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur may experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms on Friday.

The southwest monsoon (habagat) is affecting the western parts of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to these areas, while the rest of Visayas and Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Residents in affected regions are advised to monitor updates from DOST-PAGASA for further information regarding weather developments.
