Rai is projected to maintain its strength, head towards the south- Central coast
In the next 24 hours, Rai is projected to maintain its strength at a speed of 15-20 kilometers an hour. By 7 a.m. tomorrow, the system will be located at the western territorial waters of the Paracel Islands with the maximum wind of 135-165 kilometers an hour, equivalent to levels 13-14.
All vessels, fishing farms, sea embankments and dyke are warned of typhoon-force winds, high surf and cyclones.
In the next 24-72 hours, the tropical storm is forecast to move west-northeastward and east-northeastward, respectively before weakening into a tropical depression and low-pressure zone in a row.
Due to the influence of the powerful storm connecting with the current cold wave, the offshore waters and mainland provinces from Thua Thien-Hue to Phu Yen have braced for heavy rain, strong winds and high surf.
