MANILA, Philippines – The state weather bureau is monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) that could enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) next week.
The LPA was spotted 1,000 kilometers east of Mindanao, Glaiza Esculiar, weather forecaster of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) told INQUIRER.net Wednesday night.
Esculiar said the LPA may enter PAR on December 27 and would be called “Seniang” once it develops into a tropical storm.
She said the weather bureau is not leaving the possibility that the LPA may grow into a typhoon.
