According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the tropical depression is more than 400 km from Da Nang city.
At 4:00 p.m. on September 18, the center of the tropical depression was at about 16.8 degrees North latitude; 112.2 degrees East longitude, in the Hoang Sa area, about 430 km East Northeast of Da Nang. The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression was level 7 (50 - 61 km/h), gusting to level 9; moving mainly in a westerly direction at a speed of about 15 km/h. It is forecasted that in the next 12 hours, the tropical depression is likely to strengthen into a storm, with an intensity of level 8, gusting to level 10.
At 4:00 p.m. on September 19, the storm moved westward at a speed of about 20 km/h, strengthening into a storm; the storm's eye was located in the coastal waters from Quang Tri to Quang Nam; the strongest wind near the storm's eye was level 8, gusting to level 10; the natural disaster risk level was level 3.
