The low-pressure area (LPA) off the coast of La Union still has a chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, while the southwest monsoon (habagat) continues to bring rains over parts of Luzon and Visayas, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Monday, June 9.

As of 3 a.m., the LPA was located 85 kilometers west-northwest of Bacnotan, La Union.

If it strengthens into a tropical depression while still inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), it will be named "Auring," said PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina.

The LPA is currently moving westward, away from land, and is expected to exit the PAR within the next few days, he added.

Badrina said no other weather disturbances are being monitored inside or near the PAR as of Monday.
