2 LPAs spotted inside PAR

THE Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Saturday that two low pressure areas (LPAs) are being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
It said that as of 4 a.m., the first LPA was seen 85 kilometers northeast of Infanta, Quezon, while the other one was estimated at 125 kilometers west of Iba, Zambaonga.
'The good news is, these two are not likely to become a tropical depression,' Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said, noting most parts of the country might still experience isolated rain showers due to the effects of the southwest monsoon.
The entire Luzon, Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula will experience frequent rains for the rest of the day while a fair weather condition prevails in most parts of Mindanao.
Pagasa also warns the public to monitor possible hazards caused by continuous rain.
Meanwhile, no gale warning was up on any seaboards in the country but precautionary measures must be taken when sailing into the seas due to the possibility of thunderstorms.
