MANILA, Philippines — The trough or extension of the low pressure area will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in Mindanao and Eastern Visayas on Tuesday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration.

In its 5 a.m. weather forecast, Pagasa said the LPA was last spotted 360 kilometers east southeast of Davao City and still has a low chance of developing into a tropical depression.

Meanwhile, severe tropical storm Dindo (International name: Hagupit), which exited the Philippine area of responsibility on Monday, is still dragging the southwest monsoon or Habagat, according to Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.

According to Aurelio, the southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Batanes, and Babuyan Group of Islands.
