LPA spotted outside PAR — PAGASA

A low-pressure area has been spotted outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, according to PAGASA on Wednesday.

At 3 p.m., it was located 165 kilometers east of General Santos City in Mindanao.

The LPA's chance of developing into a tropical depression is still low and it may likely dissipate in the next 24 hours, the state weather bureau said.

Its trough, however, is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the regions of Caraga, Davao, and Soccsksargen.

Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat may likely bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Palawan.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country, on the other hand, may experience isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms. — Dona Magsino/BM, GMA News
