MANILA, Philippines – Tropical cyclone Auring has weakened into a low-pressure area (LPA) as of 2 a.m. Friday and exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the weather bureau said.
The LPA, located 580 km. north-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes as of 4 a.m., is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical cyclone within 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 4 a.m. bulletin.
Several areas will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by three weather systems.

Such weather condition will prevail over Batanes due to the LPA’s trough; Ilocos Region and Babuyan Islands due to the southwest monsoon or “habagat”; and Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental due to the easterlies.
Moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides, according to PAGASA.
