ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, TROPICAL CYCLONE
SAOLA WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG IN THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, AND WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE COASTAL AREA
OF EASTERN GUANGDONG TO SOUTHERN FUJIAN. 
AS SAOLA MAY INTERACT WITH TROPICAL CYCLONE HAIKUI LOCATED
TO THE EAST OF SAOLA, THE SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT OF SAOLA HAS
RATHER HIGH UNCERTAINTY. IT MAY MOVE WESTWARDS ALONG THE
COASTAL WATERS OF GUANGDONG OR WEAKEN OVER THE INLAND AREAS
OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER
ISSUING THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF
THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST.
