At 7:00 a.m. on August 28, the tropical depression was churning over the eastern waters of the northern part of the East Sea, packing winds of 39-61kmh, with gusts up to 88kph.
In the coming 24 – 72 hours, the pattern is moving west-southwest at a speed of 10–15kmh and is likely to gradually weaken.

Vessels operating in this danger zone are at risk of thunderstorms, waterspouts, strong winds, and high waves.

In addition, in the coming hours, there is a high risk of flashfloods, landslides, and ground subsidence along steep slopes and small streams in the provinces of Lao Cai, Quang Ninh, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, and Quang Ngai.
