MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area (LPA) currently being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression, the state weather bureau PAGASA said on Tuesday, June 24.

Despite the medium chance of development, PAGASA weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said the weather disturbance may still intensify into a tropical depression in the coming days.
“Mababa 'yung chance na maging isang ganap na bagyo within the next 24 hours,” Dominguez said.
(There's a low chance of it developing into a full-fledged storm within the next 24 hours.)

The LPA may bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to Pangasinan, Zambales and Bataan.
