MANILA, Aug. 27 -- A low pressure area (LPA) in the vicinity of Patnanungan, Quezon will continue to bring "significant and widespread rains" over large parts of Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Wednesday.

The weather bureau said the LPA has a small chance of developing into a tropical cyclone and is expected to dissipate within the day.

However, it will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon.

As of 3 a.m., another LPA was spotted 200 kilometers west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan.
