Low-Pressure Area East of Mindanao Approaches PAR
The low-pressure area east of Mindanao is expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) within the next 24 hours, officials reported. Although this system is currently not forecasted to develop into a tropical cyclone, its presence signals increased weather activity in the region.
Known as 08h, the low-pressure area was last located approximately 1,165 kilometers east of Northeastern Mindanao as of early Saturday morning. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) shared this update during their morning weather briefing.
Weather Impact and Forecast
“There is a low chance for this to develop into a storm, but it may enter our area of responsibility within 24 hours,” Pagasa specialist Grace Castañeda said in Filipino. This statement underscores the need for continued vigilance among residents and local authorities.
As the system moves closer, its trough or extension is expected to bring rainfall to the eastern parts of Visayas and Mindanao today, community members said. This rain could influence agricultural activities and daily routines in the affected areas.
Potential Effects on Bicol Region
Castañeda also noted that the approaching low-pressure area might begin to affect the Bicol Region in the coming days. Local leaders should monitor updates closely as the weather pattern evolves.
While the current chance of storm development remains low, the situation emphasizes the importance of preparedness. Residents in eastern Visayas, Mindanao, and Bicol should stay alert for further advisories from weather authorities.
