Previously, in the storm forecast for the week of August 30 to September 5, PAGASA said that there were two low pressure areas appearing near the Philippines. The first low pressure area (TCLV1) is located to the east, inside the PAR region of this country. The low pressure is likely to make landfall in the Philippines before turning south towards Japan.
Meanwhile, a second low pressure area (TCLV2) may form northeast of the Philippines' tropical cyclone warning area (TCAD), with little chance of strengthening into a storm.
During the week of September 6-12, PAGASA forecasts two low pressure areas near the country.
The first low pressure (TCLV3) is north of PAGASA's forecast region (PMD) and the second low pressure (TCLV4) is at the southeastern boundary of TCAD, with the low likely to intensify into a typhoon.
