Pagasa predicts wet weekend due to LPA
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Thursday predicted a wet weekend in the Bicol and Eastern Visayas regions due to a low pressure area (LPA) east of Eastern Samar.
The LPA was last spotted 720 kilometers east of Borongan, Eastern Samar, and may intensify into a storm in the next 48 hours, the weather bureau said in its 4 p.m. report.
If it does develop into a tropical cyclone it will be given the name Egay, said Pagasa weather specialist Rhea Torres.
As for the rest of the country, it will continue to experience the usual weather at this time of year, with generally fair and humid mornings, but with possible rain showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening. —CHARLIE ABARCA
