LPA off Romblon may dissipate within 24 hours: PAGASA

MANILA - The low pressure area off Romblon will bring rains over parts of Luzon before it dissipates within the next 24 hours, the state weather bureau said Wednesday.

The LPA was last estimated 20 kilometers northeast of Romblon, Romblon as of 3 a.m., according to PAGASA weather forecaster Benison Estareja.

It may dissipate within the next 24 hours due to its interaction with landmass and the northeast monsoon, he added.
