Typhoon Paolo may have exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) but a new weather disturbance threatens the country.

At 3:00 AM, the Tropical Depression was located at 2,145 kilometers east of Mindanao. It has maximum winds of 45 kilometers per hour (kph) with gustiness of 60 kph, moving in a northwest direction at a speed of 15 kph.

It is expected to enter the country’s premises on Thursday or Friday and will be given the local name Quedan. According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong, the Tropical Depression may recurve away from landmass but can intensify into a typhoon while within PAR.

This Tuesday, Mindanao, Western Visayas and Palawan will experience cloudy skies and light to occasional heavy rains due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). In the rest of the country including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.
