Tropical Storm Sepat exits PAR, low pressure area may develop

As of Tuesday morning, Tropical Storm Sepat has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) while a low pressure area inside PAR now has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next few days.

The low pressure area was last observed 210 kilometers west-southwest of Cubi Point, Subic Bay International Airport, with potential impacts on local weather patterns in Pangasinan, Zambales and Bataan.

PAGASA warns residents in these areas to be prepared for possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Pangasinan, Negros Occidental, and parts of Central Luzon.

These conditions may cause flash floods and landslides, while the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.
