Tropical Depression (TD) “Amang” weakened into a low pressure area (LPA) on Thursday morning, April 13, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

“At 8:00 a.m. today, TD Amang has weakened into a low pressure area (LPA),” PAGASA said in a Facebook post.

In its latest advisory issued 11:00 a.m., PAGASA said the LPA, formerly “Amang,” was last located over the coastal waters of Polillo, Quezon.

It is forecast to move generally northwestward or west northwestward towards Polillo Islands and northern mainland Quezon.

The LPA will still bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over most areas of Central Luzon, Metro Manila, and Calabarzon, the state weather bureau noted. — gb
