“Samantala, itong tropical depression sa ngayon na posibleng maging lalakas pa na bagyo ay papasok ng PAR – kung magpapatuloy ang northwest movement nito – by Friday or Saturday of next week pa,” he added.
By then, Pagasa said it will name the weather disturbance “Betty.” It would be the second storm to enter PAR this year and the first for this month. Estareja then explained that the LPA currently appears to move northward although it may begin to veer northwestward by Sunday, May 21.“From Sunday to Wednesday, posibleng nasa may Guam po ito. From Wednesday, inaasahang kikilos na ito northwestward. At hindi rin natin inaalis ‘yung possibility na mas lalakas pa ito either by typhoon or super typhoon,” said Estareja.
Nevertheless, the state weather specialist noted that considering the LPA’s present trajectory, it may not hit the country’s landmass. But it is expected to “enhance” southwest monsoons in many parts of the country over the next week. Estareja added that the weak storm is currently enveloped in the inter-tropical convergence zone or ITCZ that’s been bringing rain to various areas of the country.Your subscription has been successful.
