MANILA, Philippines: The cloud clusters outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) have developed into a low pressure area (LPA) which would possibly enter the country on Saturday, the state-run weather agency said on Thursday. Weather specialist Patrick del Mundo of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was last spotted some 1, 865 kilometers east of Southeastern Mindanao (outside PAR).

'It (LPA) has still a low chance to intensify into a tropical depression over the next two days but it may enter PAR over the weekend or on Saturday in particular,' Del Mundo said.
