The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) disclosed that Mitag edged steadily closer to the coast of eastern Guangdong in the past few hours. Locally, strong winds are affecting high ground. Winds will generally strengthen. The Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 will remain in force during the day today (19th). The outer rainbands of Mitag are approaching the Pearl River Estuary gradually and will bring a few squally showers and thunderstorms to Hong Kong. Showers will be heavier at times later. According to the present forecast, Mitag will make landfall over the coast of eastern Guangdong in the next few hours. Meanwhile, under the influence of the northeast monsoon, it will turn to a westerly track, edging closer to the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary but weakening gradually. It will skirt around 100 km to the north of Hong Kong. Depending on the rate of weakening of Mitag at that time, the distance of its gale winds from Hong Kong and the change in local wind conditions, the HKO will assess the need to issue a higher tropical cyclone warning signal tonight.
