MANILA, Philippines —The state-run weather agency on Tuesday did not rule out the possibility that the low pressure area (LPA) off Camarines Norte will intensify into a short-lived tropical depression.

Weather specialist Robert Badrina of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reiterated that the LPA, which is currently over the coastal waters of the province’s Paracale town, may still become a tropical cyclone for a day.

“It would eventually dissipate,” the Pagasa forecaster said.

However, the weather disturbance was expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas.

The rest of Visayas, MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM (Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao), Northern Mindanao and Caraga, meanwhile, would be experiencing similar weather patterns but due to the southwest monsoon (locally known as habagat), according to Pagasa.

It added that the rest of the country would likely have partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
