Forecast Highlights

- This potential storm is forecast to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) between November 03 to 07 based on the current Global Typhoon Models output.

- LPA is not yet a threat to the country for the next 3 to 4 days.

- The Global Typhoon Models are not in good agreement on where the potential storm will really go.  In the coming days, a much clearer picture on its track will arise as these models try to converge.
