AT 11 P.M., TROPICAL STORM EWINIAR WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 420 KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.0
DEGREES NORTH 111.0 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO BE
SLOW-MOVING AND LINGER IN THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA.

 

SINCE EWINIAR MAINTAINS A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 400
KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG, THE CHANCE TO ISSUE THE STRONG
WIND SIGNAL, NO.3 WILL NOT BE HIGH BEFORE 5 A.M. ON
THURSDAY.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, EWINIAR IS
EXPECTED TO EDGE CLOSER TO THE WESTERN COAST OF GUANGDONG

MOVEMENT OF EWINIAR. DEPENDING ON THE VARIATIONS IN LOCAL
WINDS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER THE NEED TO CHANGE THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

LATEST INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE GOING TO
WORK OR SCHOOL IN THE MORNING.
 
OUTER RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH EWINIAR WILL CONTINUE TO
