According to Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres, the LPA is not expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility and is only forecast to affect the country for a few days.
“Inaasahan na magdadala bukas ang trough ng LPA dito sa may Soccsksargen pati na rin sa Davao Region,” said Torres.
