A weakening Tropical Depression Nuri made landfall on the coast of China west of Hong Kong on Saturday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Tropical Depression Nuri was located at latitude 22.2\u00b0N and longitude 111.5\u00b0E which put it about 170 miles (280 km) west of Hong Kong.\u00a0 Nuri was moving toward the northwest at 18 m.p.h. (29 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1001 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Tropical Storm Nuri weakened to a tropical depression as it approached the coast of China on Saturday night.\u00a0 An upper level ridge centered over China produced northeasterly winds which blew toward the top of former Tropical Storm Nuri.\u00a0 Those winds caused moderate vertical wind shear and they blew the tops off thunderstorms in the eastern half of Nuri.\u00a0 The wind shear blocked upper level divergence to the east of the tropical storm and the surface pressure increased.\u00a0 The wind speed decreased and Nuri was downgraded to a tropical depression as it neared the coast of China.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Nuri moved around the southwestern part of a subtropical high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high steered Nuri toward the northwest.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Nuri made landfall on the coast of China west of Hong Kong.\u00a0 The center of Nuri crossed the coast between Dianbai and Yangjiang.\u00a0 The circulation around Tropical Depression Nuri will continue to weaken as it moves farther inland.\u00a0 Nuri will bring some heavy rain showers to parts of southeastern China before it dissipates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
