MANILA, Philippines — The state weather service located a new low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday which may become a tropical depression or a weak storm in the next two to four days. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was marked 2,200 kilometers east of Mindanao and that it may enter the PAR by the middle or end of next week. It also said that conditions are 'favorable' for it to become a storm possibly this coming weekend while still outside PAR.
