Current Status and OutlookA developing Tropical Disturbance (LPA) tagged as "96W" has been traversing the Visayas and is likely to strengthen into a Tropical Cyclone within the next 12 to 24 hours as it emerges over the Sulu Sea-West Philippine Sea Area.

The system's circulation together with the enhanced surge of the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) is currently bringing scattered to widespread rains and thunderstorms across most parts of Visayas and Eastern Luzon particularly the Bicol Region, and is likely to spread across CaLaBaRZon, MiMaRoPa and parts of Metro Manila today.
