Wutip Forecast to Hit Hainan as Severe Tropical Storm on Friday
Tropical Storm Wutip is continuing to track toward Hainan Island in southern China, and is expected to make landfall on Friday short of the typhoon-strength intensity previously forecast.
Wutip is currently about 155 kilometers (96 miles) southeast of Sanya city on Hainan, according to an advisory from Chinese weather authorities. The system is expected to strengthen into a severe tropical storm in the early hours of Friday, fueled by the very warm waters of the South China Sea.
