Low-Pressure Area Raises Tropical Cyclone Alert Early
MANILA, Philippines — The low-pressure area inside the Philippine area of responsibility has heightened its chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, weather authorities confirmed Thursday. This low-pressure area is now under close watch due to its growing potential to become a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
As of 8 a.m., the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that the system has a medium chance of intensifying. The low-pressure area was last tracked 95 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora, and is expected to bring sporadic rain showers over Luzon.
Impact and Forecast
Weather officials anticipate the low-pressure area to cross Luzon either Thursday evening or Friday, which could lead to increased rainfall and unsettled weather conditions in the region. Residents are urged to stay alert and monitor updates, especially those in vulnerable areas prone to flooding.
Additional System Outside PAR
Meanwhile, another low-pressure area located outside the Philippine area of responsibility has intensified rapidly. This system now holds a high chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours. Currently, it is situated approximately 2,760 kilometers east of Northern Luzon.
Authorities do not rule out the possibility that this second low-pressure area may eventually enter the Philippine area of responsibility. However, it currently poses no direct threat to any part of the country.
Local officials and meteorologists continue to monitor both systems closely to provide timely warnings and ensure public safety. Community preparedness remains vital as weather patterns evolve.
