The broad area of low pressure to the west of Luzon has entered the central and northern parts of the South China Sea and is developing gradually, but its structure is still loose. 

If the broad area of low pressure further develops into a tropical cyclone tonight to tomorrow morning, the Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal, No. 1 by then. 

The low pressure system will move towards Hainan Island and the seas south of it. However, there are uncertainties in its intensity.

Under the combined effect of the low pressure system and the ridge of high pressure over southeastern China, it will be windy with showers, thunderstorms and squalls over the northern part of the South China Sea and the coast of southern China tomorrow and on Friday (28 and 29 August). 

There will be swells. Unless the low pressure system intensifies significantly, or develop closer to the coast of Guangdong, or adopts a track closer to the coast of Guangdong, the chance of persistent strong winds generally over the territory is expected to be relatively low.
