MANILA, Philippines—A low pressure area, spotted 845 kilometers east of Mindanao, will bring rains to parts of the Visayas and Mindanao, the state weather bureau said Wednesday.
The LPA entered early Wednesday, and Eastern and Central Visayas and Mindanao will thus be cloudy and will experience light to moderate rainshowers and isolated thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
Pagasa earlier said that the LPA was not likely to become a tropical depression but that it was not ruling out the possibility to become one.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated light rains, Pagasa said.
Pagasa said the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds from the east to northeast will prevail over Luzon and from the northeast over the rest of the country.
The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough.
