MANILA, Philippines – Two weather disturbances, one of which was seen to become a cyclone in the next 24 hours, were being monitored by the state weather bureau Friday.

A low pressure area off 470 kilometers east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar was seen to intensify in the next 24hours, while a new low pressure area was located 600 km east northeast of Aparri, Cagayan, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services said.

Once the LPA intensifies it will be called ”Gener.”

Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming cloudy with widespread rains over Bicol Region and over the eastern section of Visayas and Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides.

Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Northern and Central Luzon and coming from the southwest to west over the rest of the country. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough.
