New Low Pressure Area forming near Philippines
According to PAGASA, the Active Low Pressure Area (ALPA) was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 930 km east of Borongan, Eastern Samar (11.8°N, 134.6°E). The other low pressure area east of Southern Luzon has now dissipated. JTWC reported winds at the area 15 to 20 knots. System is moving west-northwestward at speed of 4 knots. Dynamic models indicate that the system will continue to consolidate and develop into a tropical depression within next 12-36 hours as it moves toward northern Luzon in Philippines.
The system is expected to bring scattered to widespread rains over Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas. Residents living in low-lying areas and along mountain slopes are advised to be on alert for possible occurrence of flashfloods and landslides.
