The low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has a "high chance" of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, according to state-run weather agency Pagasa.

Pagasa’s 3 a.m. advisory indicated that the LPA was at 150 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora in Central Luzon.

"If the LPA develops into a tropical depression, Cyclone Wind Signal No.1 may be hoisted immediately over some localities in Central and Northern Luzon due to its close proximity to the landmass," Pagasa said.

Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Laguna, Quezon, Rizal, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur would have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the LPA.

Also, Pagasa warned of possible flash floods or landslides in areas experiencing moderate to heavy rain. The rest of Luzon, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, SOCCSKSARGEN, Lanao del Norte, and Misamis Occidental would have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms spawned by the southwest monsoon (habagat)., This news data comes from:http://www.771bg.com
