MANILA — State weather bureau PAGASA said Sunday it was monitoring two low pressure areas outside the Philippine area of responsibility. 

One LPA was spotted east northeast of Luzon’s northern tip, while the other low pressure area was located east of Mindanao. 

“Itong dalawang LPA na ito ay hindi natin inaalis ang posibilidad na maging isang bagyo sa mga susunod na araw,” PAGASA weather specialist Grace Castañeda. 

If the potential storm near Luzon enters PAR on Monday, it could slightly enhance the habagat or southwest monsoon that could bring rains, she said. 

The LPA near Mindanao could also stir monsoon rains later next week, Castañeda said. 

On Sunday, the habagat could bring scattered rains over Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands, PAGASA earlier said. 

It said Metro Manila and the rest of the country could experience sunny weather that could be interrupted by scattered rains in the afternoon or evening. 

Last week, monsoon rains enhanced by tropical storm Enteng triggered landslides and floods that left at least 20 people dead, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said.
