Two low pressure areas (LPAs) are being monitored as the southwest monsoon brings heavy rainfall to three areas and thunderstorms to parts of the country, raising a risk of flooding and landslides, according to the state weather bureau on Friday.
The nearer LPA was located 1,040 kilometers west of Southwestern Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 10:00 a.m. tropical cyclone formation outlook.
The LPA has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. PAGASA said the LPA may steer the southwest monsoon away from the country, causing less rainfall over the mainland.
The farther and more recently developed LPA was located 2,875 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas and is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
