BINABANTAYAN ang isa na namang Low Pressure Area (LPA) na inaasahang papasok ng Philippine Area of Responsibility ngayong gabi.

Huli itong namataan sa layong 1,385 km ng east of Central Luzon.

Ayon kay DOST-PAGASA Weather Specialist Grace Castañeda – Carpio, posibleng maging bagyo ang nasabing LPA habang binabaybay nito ang karagatang silangan ng Luzon. Gayunman, posibleng magkaroon din ng sirkulasyon sa kanluran ng Northern Luzon sa mga susunod na oras.

Sinabi ni Carpio na isa sa mga ito ang posibleng mabuo na bagyo at papangalanang Neneng. Ang isa naman ay magiging trough na lamang ng dominanteng weather system.

Sa pagtaya ng PAGASA, posibleng tumbukin ng potensiyal na bagyo ang Taiwan at maaaring direktang maapektuhan ang Batanes.

Inaasahan din na ang sirkulasyon na ito ang magpapalakas ng habagat na magdadala ng mga pag-ulan sa malaking bahagi ng bansa.

Pinapayuhan ang lahat na maging handa, alerto, at mag-antabay sa updates na ilalabas ng PAGASA.
