PAGASA lifts storm warning signals as 'Pablo' weakens into LPA

From InterAksyon (Dec 9): PAGASA lifts storm warning signals as 'Pablo' weakens into LPA

Tropical depression "Pablo" further weakened into a low pressure area (LPA) on Sunday afternoon, the state weather bureau said. Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Bell Masallo said that with the presence of the northeast monsoon "Pablo" continued to weaken into LPA. Masallo said that as of 4 p.m., the LPA was located at 105 kilometers west of Laoag City (18.1°N, 119.4°E). However, she said that the agency was still monitoring Pablo as it might intensify. But based on the agency's models, there's a slim chance of Pablo's regaining strength and it is expected to dissipate. With this development , all public storm warning signals are lifted, Masallo said. Still, she added that with the northeast monsoon, northern Luzon will experience light rains while Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have brief rain showers and thunderstorms.
