The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that two weather disturbances in the Pacific are gaining strength and are poised to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) within several days.
After Typhoon Pedring leaves the country on Wednesday, another weather disturbance may enter the Philippines, PAGASA said Tuesday.
Once it forms into a typhoon, the weather disturbance will then be codenamed “Quiel," said weather forecaster Connie Dadivas in an interview on News To Go.
“Kung hindi po magbabago ang numerical models natin, Friday po ay posibleng nasa loob na ito ng Philippine area of responsibility," said Dadivas.

Meanwhile, a low pressure area, which will be named Ramon once it enters the PAR, was also spotted over the Pacific Ocean far to the east of Mindanao.

UPDATE; OCTOBER 2, 2011:
A low-pressure area east of Luzon may develop into a tropical cyclone by Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Sunday.
PAGASA acting administrator Nathaniel Servando said the LPA will be codenamed "Ramon," should it become a tropical depression.
"The LPA east of Luzon, our prediction shows by Wednesday it will develop into a tropical depression to be called 'Ramon,'" Servando said at a meeting of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Sunday afternoon.
President Benigno Aquino III personally attended the NDRRMC meeting.
Several parts of Luzon are still reeling from the effects of typhoons "Pedring" (Nesat) and "Quiel" (Nalgae). More than 50 people had been killed while several areas in Bulacan and Pampanga were flooded in the wake of the two cyclones.
On Saturday, Department of Science and Technology Undersecretary Graciano Yumul Jr. said the incoming cyclone may target northern Luzon, the same area battered by the previous two cyclones.
"Ang malungkot Northern Luzon uli ang tinatahak (What is sad is that it is heading for Northern Luzon)," Yumul said in an interview on dzBB radio Saturday.
Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms loom over most part of the country as a potential cyclone moved closer to the Visayas Wednesday afternoon, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
In its 5 p.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the low-pressure area was estimated at 560 km east of Visayas as of 2 p.m., embedded along the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
The ITCZ is affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, PAGASA noted.
Should the LPA intensify into a cyclone, it will be locally codenamed "Ramon."
Update: October 10
According to the latest report from PAGASA, the weather disturbance east of Mindanao has intensified into a tropical depression before noon Monday, and was locally codenamed "Ramon."
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Ramon may bring rain to Metro Manila starting Thursday.
"(The tropical depression) will have an indirect effect on Metro Manila. Current data show possible rains due to this tropical depression by around Thursday in Metro Manila," PAGASA said on its Twitter account.
