In a bulletin issued 4 pm on Sunday, October 15, PAGASA said the LPA was located 1,280 kilometers east of Mindanao.

The state weather bureau added that the LPA could intensify into a tropical depression. If it strengthens inside PAR, it will be given the local name Paolo. (READ: FAST FACTS: Tropical cyclones, rainfall advisories)
