Typhoon Nida made landfall on Monday near Hong Kong on the coast of China.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Typhoon Nida was located at latitude 22.8\u00b0N and longitude 114.4\u00b0E which put it about 50 miles (80 km) east-northeast of Hong Kong.\u00a0 Nida was moving toward the northwest t 13 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 95 m.p.h. (155 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 115 m.p.h. (185 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 963 mb.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Nida made landfall on the southeast coast of China just to the north of Hong Kong.\u00a0 The core of Nida is large and the typhoon is capable of causing wind damage on a regional scale.\u00a0 Wind blowing toward the coast could also generate a storm surge until Typhoon Nida moves farther inland.\u00a0 However, very heavy rain and fresh water flooding are much greater risks as Nida moves farther inland over China.<\/p>\n
A subtropical ridge north of Nida is steering the typhoon toward the northwest and that general motion is expected to continue for the next several days.\u00a0 The ridge will steer Nida farther inland over southeastern China.\u00a0 Typhoon Nida’s fairly slow motion and large size mean that heavy rain could fall over an expansive area.\u00a0 The risk for flooding will continue as Nida moves inland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
