Pagasa is tracking several low pressure areas (LPAs) over the Pacific and giving updated guidance on their likelihood of intensifying into tropical cyclones. One LPA, previously associated with Tropical Cyclone Caloy, is expected to dissipate by Friday or Saturday and is not forecast to directly affect any part of the country on Wednesday. Pagasa also monitors an LPA inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) that is unlikely to become a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours; its trough may still bring rains to parts of Mindanao. Another LPA outside PAR is forecast to have low chances of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours and may not affect the country within the next four days. Additional systems are being watched east of northeastern Mindanao, with one possibly entering PAR as early as Tuesday and the other potentially developing into a tropical depression. Across the briefings, Pagasa generally describes the chances of cyclone formation as low, while noting that LPAs and their troughs can still bring scattered to widespread rains over parts of Visayas and Mindanao, particularly the eastern sections.

- Pagasa says multiple LPAs are being monitored over the Pacific east of the Philippines.
- At least one LPA inside PAR is unlikely to become a tropical cyclone within 24 hours.
- An LPA linked to Tropical Cyclone Caloy may dissipate by Friday or Saturday and is not expected to directly affect the country on Wednesday.
- Pagasa forecasts LPAs and their troughs to bring rain showers or scattered rains and thunderstorms, especially over parts of Visayas and Mindanao.
- A tropical depression may form and/or enter PAR within the coming days, but Pagasa characterizes storm risk overall as low.
