The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Thursday, Oct. 12 said it still monitors the Low Pressure Area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) which is at 860 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.

The LPA still has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone and may become the trough of Super Typhoon Bolaven being monitored outside PAR, said PAGASA.
PAGASA said "Bolaven" which is 2,190 kilometers east of extreme northern Luzon has also a low chance of entering PAR.
Meanwhile, weather specialist Patrick del Mundo said another LPA has been monitored inside PAR which was 135 kilometers west of Coron, Palawan.
The LPA affects some parts of the country but it has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone and may move away from PAR on the weekend, said PAGASA.
PAGASA said Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Quezon Province, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers due to the LPA in Palawan.
In Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers will be felt due to localized thunderstorms, said PAGASA.
The state-run weather bureau warned against flash floods and landslides in high-risk areas due to moderate to heavy rains. (Lizst Torres Abello)
