MANILA, Philippines — The low-pressure area (LPA) spotted east of Virac in Catanduanes is expected to develop into a storm in the next 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Saturday afternoon.

According to Pagasa’s weather bulletin, once the LPA develops into a storm, it will be called Tropical Depression “Egay” and will be the fifth storm to hit the country this year.
