🌧️ Weather Update: Incoming Tropical Disturbance near Mindanao 🌀

Hey weather watchers! 🌍 Satellite imagery from Saturday evening reveals a substantial cluster of convection inching closer to the Mindanao coast. JMA officially upgraded this area to a Tropical Depression on Saturday morning, with the possibility of it becoming a tropical storm upon landfall by Sunday night. PAGASA is still playing it cautious, labeling it as an LPA, but don’t be surprised if a name is given soon.

🌀 What’s Brewing:
This weather system is on the move westward and might just escalate into the Philippines’ next named storm. Keep those eyes peeled for updates as this scenario unfolds.

⚠️ Sunday and Monday Showdown:
The real show kicks in on Sunday and Monday, bringing gusty winds along the coast and a substantial 200-300mm of rainfall in Eastern Mindanao and South East Visayas. Be ready for some impactful weather in those areas.

💨 Collaboration with Amihan:
Joining forces with the Amihan to the north, this storm is gearing up to whip gusty winds and scatter showers all along the east coast of the Philippines, reaching as far north as Cagayan.

For those unfamiliar: The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) are meteorological agencies responsible for monitoring and forecasting weather and related phenomena in their respective regions.

Stay weather-wise, stay safe, and let’s navigate this weather adventure together! 🌦️💙 #WeatherUpdate #MindanaoWeather #StayInformed #WeatherWatchers
