The low-pressure area inside the Philippine area of responsibility will not directly affect the landmass and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical cyclone, the state weather bureau said on Saturday.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration reported the system at 3 a.m. Saturday located 980 kilometers east of Central Luzon. Weather specialist Loriedin de la Cruz-Galicia stated it has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone and has remained stationary in the Philippine Sea.
The LPA which was previously named Caloy will bring no direct effects to any part of the Philippine landmass. No gale warnings are in effect for any coastal areas.
Cloudy skies with isolated thunderstorms are expected over Extreme Northern Luzon including Batanes and Babuyan Islands. Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon may see similar conditions at any time of day while Visayas and Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with localized thunderstorms.
