On Saturday morning, the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting reported that the typhoon was moving west at 20 kph. By 7 a.m. on Sunday, it is expected to reach the offshore waters of the central coast, maintaining wind speeds between 103-117 kph with gusts reaching 150-166 kph.
The typhoon is forecast to shift slightly southward at 20 kph and by Monday morning, as it approaches the central coast, it is expected to weaken to 88 kph, with gusts of 103-117 kph. At this point, the typhoon will begin turning back to the sea, moving east at 5-10 kph while continuing to weaken.
Regardless of the scenario, the typhoon's impact on Central Viet Nam is expected to be significant, particularly in terms of rainfall. Trami's looping movement followed by its reversal out to sea could prolong its effects on land for more than a day. The typhoon's radius extends 500-600 km from the eye, with strong winds of 62-74 kph reaching up to 250 km from the center.
Rainfall is forecasted to last until Sunday, with precipitation ranging from 300-500 mm in Quang Tri to Quang Ngai, and peak rainfall exceeding 700 mm in some areas. Other regions like Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Binh Dinh, and the Central Highlands could see rainfall amounts between 100-200 mm, with some locations exceeding 300 mm./.
