The active low pressure area (ALPA) spotted in Eastern Samar continues to intensify and is expected to become a tropical depression that might enter the Philippine territory by Thursday or Friday.
Weather forecaster Boy Soriaga on Tuesday said once ALPA becomes a cyclone, it will be called "Dindo", the fourth cyclone to hit the country this year.
Soriaga said the ALPA was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 750 kilometers East Northeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar (12.5°N, 133.5°E).
He said the weather disturbance may also enhance the southwest monsoon, affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao which will experience scattered rains showers.
Possible flash floods and landslides threaten over Bicol Region, Palawan, Eastern Visayas and Northern Mindanao due to widespread rains.
Metro Manila will still experience partly cloudy with isolated rain showers, he said.
In its advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds from the southwest to south will prevail over Northern and Central Luzon and coming from the southwest to west over Southern Luzon and Visayas.
