In the past few hours, the tropical cyclone moved west-northwest steadily. Its outer rainbands are also edging closer to the coast of Guangdong.

Its strong winds are expected to affect the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary gradually tomorrow. The Observatory will issue the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 between midnight and 3 a.m. tomorrow.

According to the present forecast, the tropical cyclone will intensify progressively and skirt around 200 kilometres to the southwest of Hong Kong on Monday (8 September) morning. However, its circulation will be relatively small.

Depending on the rate of intensification and its closest distance to Hong Kong, the Observatory will assess the need to issue higher tropical cyclone warning signals tomorrow night.
