Estareja noted that the LPA was last located 1,975 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon as of 4 a.m. on Friday, November 8.

“We are still not ruling out the possibility this LPA will develop into a tropical depression once it enters the PAR,” he said in a mix of Filipino and English.

Information on the new LPA’s impending entry to the PAR comes as Typhoon Marce (international name: Yinxing) lashed Northern Luzon.

Even as Marce weakened while crossing Ilocos Norte early Friday morning, Pagasa still placed many areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) due to the expected effects of the typhoon last located over the coastal waters of Pasuquin municipality, moving west-northwestward at 10 kilometers per hour (kph) and packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kph and gustiness of up to 215 kph.

In its 5 a.m. typhoon bulletin, Pagasa said Marce is forecast to leave the PAR either by Friday afternoon or evening.

Marce first made landfall at Sta. Ana, Cagayan, at 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, and then at the coast of northwestern Cagayan on Thursday evening.
