MANILA, Philippines — A low pressure area over Pacific Ocean could enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility after Christmas and has a huge chance of developing into a tropical depression, PAGASA said Wednesday, as parts of the country continue to reel from the aftermath of Typhoon Odette (Rai).

In a statement, PAGASA said the LPA over the Pacific is expected to enter the country's jurisdiction on December 26 or 27.

The weather disturbance will be closest to the landmass of Mindanao on the evening of December 29 or morning of December 30.
