CHANCHU (CALOY) WEAKENS INTO A TROPICAL STORM AND BECOMES AN
EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE COASTLINE OF
FUJIAN PROVINCE.

...THIS IS THE FINAL UPDATE/WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM.


+ FORECAST OUTLOOKCHANCHU is expected to continue moving
across Coastal Fujian Province throughout the day and shall
move back into the sea, via East China Sea. Residents of
Southern China (Fujian Province) are advised to take precau-
tionary measures as the remnants of this storm passes by...
mapping out disaster preparedness plans during CHANCHU's
approach must be completed now to avoid loss of lives
and properties.


+ EFFECTS: Remnants of CHANCHU's rainbands will continue to
affect most of Fujian Province today. These rainbands parti-
cularly the inner bands will continue to bring moderate to
heavy rainfall with moderate to strong, damaging winds and
could produce flying debris, life-threatening flash floods
and mudslides along river banks, low-lying areas and mountain
slopes over the affected areas. Residents residing along the
coastal beachfront areas of Southern China are advised to
seek higher grounds due to possible high waves from the sea.
Coastal Storm Surge flooding from 1 to 3 feet can be expected
along the path of the weakening storm, thereby advising all
sea vessels to remain at port and avoid passing over it.
Improving weather conditions can be expected tomorrow as
the system moves away NE-ward.

effects & current monsoon intensity changes every 06 to 12 hours!
