LPA brings rain to Visayas, Southern Luzon as it nears landmass
MANILA, Philippines – The low pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility is affecting the Visayas and nearly the entire Southern Luzon on Tuesday, June 30.
As of 3 am on Tuesday, the LPA was located over the coastal waters of San Pascual, Masbate.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the LPA has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression within 24 hours, either while crossing landmass or when it has already emerged over the West Philippine Sea.
If it becomes a tropical depression, it would be given the local name Henry, and tropical cyclone wind signals would be raised immediately given the weather disturbance’s proximity to land.
On Tuesday, the LPA is bringing scattered rain and thunderstorms to the Visayas, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Bicol, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon. Flash floods and landslides are possible.
Similar conditions are also expected in Palawan, but due to the southwest monsoon or habagat.
The rest of the country, not affected by either the LPA or the southwest monsoon, may just see localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA’s three-day rainfall outlook shows these provinces could be most affected by the LPA or potential tropical cyclone:
Tuesday, June 30
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 millimeters): Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Aklan, Capiz
Wednesday, July 1
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 mm): Palawan, Occidental Mindoro
Thursday, July 2
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 mm): Palawan
On Monday, June 29, the LPA triggered moderate to heavy rain in parts of Bicol, Eastern Visayas, and Mimaropa.
PAGASA had announced the start of the rainy season last June 4. – Rappler.com
