A tropical disturbance (known as LPA) has been spotted southeast of Mindanao. According to the latest weather bulletin of PAGASA, the LPA has been located at 1,020km Southeast of Mindanao with a coordinates of 5.0°N, 136.0°E. They also forecast that the system is embedded along with the ITCZ which bring light to moderate rains across the Leyte Provinces and Mindanao.

Latest Japan Weather Bureau (Japan Meteorological Agency) has upgraded the system into a tropical depression., Meanwhile the US Navy (JTWC) didn't issue any warning in this system.


Here are the possibilities which can possibly develop the disturbance into a tropical depression:

> relatively warm sea surface temperature (over the WesPac)
> decreasing wind shear
> good low level convergence coupled with high level divergence exists over the area.
