PAGASA: New LPA seen over Mindanao but unlikely to intensifyMANILA, Philippines — PAGASA on Thursday said it is monitoring a new low pressure area south of the country, which remains unlikely to intensify but could still bring rains. The state weather bureau in its afternoon forecast said the LPA was last seen at 265 kilometers east southeast of Davao City and is brought by the prevailing Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone in Mindanao. PAGASA said in one of its forecasts this week that it is expecting at least one storm by this month. This weather condition is also expected over Visayas and some parts of Mindanao due to the effects of the LPA. The remaining parts of Mindanao, in turn, will see fair weather with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms.
