At 10:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Depression Haikui were located at latitude 17.0°N and longitude 108.2°E which put it about 20 miles (30 km/h) north of Da Nang, Vietnam. Haikui was moving toward the west at 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 35 m.p.h. (55 km/h).

The remnants of Tropical Storm Haikui consists of primarily of a low level counterclockwise circulation. There are several thin bands of low clouds and showers. Stronger thunderstorms were forming near the core of the circulation. It appeared that winds blowing toward the coast were converging due to increased friction caused by the land. The convergence was causing stronger rising motion which was contributing to the development of strong thunderstorms near and to the west of the center of circulation.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Haikui will move inland before significant intensification can occur. The remnants of Haikui could drop locally heavy rainfall over portions of Vietnam, southern Laos and northeastern Thailand. Locally heavy rainfall could cause flooding in some places.
