Two tropical depressions in the West Pacific could affect the northern Philippines, southern Taiwan, southern China and Hong Kong over the next week.
The first, known locally as Mirasol in the Philippines, is forecast to strengthen as it enters the South China Sea and could reach tropical storm intensity by Thursday. The storm is expected to continue tracking toward the northwest and will make landfall in the Guangdong province of southern China late Friday.
First storm will move into China Saturday
