The Observatory says the Strong Wind Signal No 3 will remain in force until early Sunday afternoon, and that it will consider lowering the signal depending on local wind conditions. This morning, Wutip weakened into a tropical depression as it moved inland in Guangdong. The forecasters said locally, winds are expected to moderate later this afternoon with the outer rain bands of Wutip bringing squally showers to the coast of Guangdong. "Depending on the change in local wind condition and the extent of weakening of Wutip, the Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal No 1, or replacing the tropical cyclone warning signal with the Strong Monsoon Signal," the Observatory said. It forecast that for Monday and Tuesday, there would still be heavy showers over the coast of Guangdong because of an active south-westerly airstream.
