NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of Nuri. The image shows a cluster of thunderstorms surrounding the center of circulation, and located between the Philippines and Hainan Island. At 8:00 p.m., tropical storm Nuri was estimated to be about 220 kilometers south of Hong Kong and is forecast to move northwest at about 22 km/ph per crossing the northern part of the South China Sea, edging closer to the coast of western Guangdong, the Hong Kong Observatory said in an update. The Signal 3 remains in force. Unless Nuri intensifies significantly or takes on a track closer to Hong Kong, the chance of issuing higher tropical cyclone warning signal will not be high, the HKO said.
