The low pressure area (LPA) spotted east of Mindanao will likely enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and develop into a tropical depression to be named Aghon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said the LPA was estimated some 1,080 kilometers east of southeastern Mindanao.
"Based on Pagasa's analysis, the LPA would likely enter PAR today (Thursday)," the Pagasa forecaster said.
"Its (LPA) movement would be re-curving as the LPA would pass through eastern Visayas before it passes through the eastern section of Luzon," he added.
Once it intensifies into a tropical depression, the weather disturbance will be named Aghon, the first storm in 2024.
In the meantime, Pagasa said the country will continue to experience hot weather due to the easterlies which will also bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
