On the afternoon of September 14, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that low pressure area 09c near the East Sea being monitored inside the Philippine Forecast Area (PAR) is "difficult to" develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
At 3:00 p.m. on September 14, the center of the low pressure was at 13.0 degrees North latitude, 120.0 degrees East longitude, 115km north of Coron, Palawan.
Although it will not strengthen, the low pressure is expected to cause heavy to very heavy rain (rainfall from 100mm to 200mm) in the next 24 hours in Quezon.
The low pressure will also bring moderate to heavy rains (rainfall from 50mm to 100mm) to Rizal, Aurora and Camarines Norte over the next 24 hours.
PAGASA warns that localized flooding may occur mainly in urbanized areas, low-lying areas or near rivers, and landslides in vulnerable areas.
"rainfall is forecast to be higher in mountainous and highland areas. In addition, the impact in some areas may be made worse by previous heavy rains," PAGASA said.
