TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE WESTERN PART OF GUANGDONG AND
HAINAN ISLAND. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1, BETWEEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
TOMORROW NIGHT. WHETHER A HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNAL TO BE ISSUED DEPENDS ON THE INTENSITY, CIRCULATION
SIZE OF YAGI AND ITS DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG. UNDER ITS
INFLUENCE, THE WEATHER OVER THE COAST OF GUANGDONG WILL
DETERIORATE IN THE LATTER PART OF THIS WEEK WITH WINDS
STRENGTHENING. THERE WILL BE HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS. SEAS
