Pagasa: Cloudy Tuesday with possible isolated rain showers, thunderstorms
MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area (LPA) near eastern Luzon and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) are expected to trigger rain over several parts of the country on Tuesday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
The state weather bureau, in its Monday afternoon bulletin, said the LPA was last spotted some 325 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes within the ITCZ.
It has a slim chance of developing into a storm.
“Dahil sa epekto pa rin ng ITCZ at LPA, magiging maulap ang kalangitan na may tiyansa ng kalat kalat na pagulan at thunderstorm sa Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) at Bicol region,” said Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.
