MANILA – A low-pressure area (LPA) located east of the Philippines may develop into a tropical cyclone within the next 12 hours, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Saturday (09 Nov 2024).
In its early morning bulletin, PAGASA reported that the LPA entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 2:00 a.m. and was last detected 1,150 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon. While the LPA is showing signs of intensifying, it currently has no direct impact on the country, the agency added.
The rest of the country is expected to experience generally fair weather, with isolated rain showers due to easterlies or localized thunderstorms. Light to moderate winds will prevail, and seas will remain slight to moderate across the archipelago.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Yinxing (formerly Marce) was located 500 kilometers west of Laoag City, outside the PAR, with maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts reaching up to 190 kph. The typhoon is moving west northwestward at 20 kph.
